Board pauses emerging‑technology (AI) policy for more community input
Summary
Following wide discussion of AI use, transparency, and student impacts, the board agreed to pause the second reading of the emerging technology policy and return it for further community engagement and a later third reading.
The Piedmont board paused its second reading of the district's emerging technology policy, including language about staff disclosure of AI use in grading, to allow more time for community engagement and additional refinement.
Board members praised the development process but raised questions about scope and clarity. "Where is AI being used with my kids?" Susie Struble asked, underscoring parent concern about transparency and opt‑out options. Several members urged that the policy clarify whether it sets high‑level principles or detailed implementation steps and recommended additional outreach to students, parents and staff before a final vote.
The board asked staff to convene further discussion — through DTAC or a subcommittee — and to return the policy for a third reading at a later date; no final adoption occurred at the meeting.
