Trustees flag AI assessment challenges, recommend framework for classroom use

Rhinebeck Union Free School District Board of Education · May 19, 2026

Summary

The district's technology advisory committee recommended an AI guidance approach that prioritizes human skills, proposes a red‑orange‑green framework for classroom tools, and emphasizes shifting assessment to process and authentic demonstrations of learning where AI can produce final products.

Trustee Raynard reported that the technology advisory committee concluded its work for the year by recommending a set of guiding questions for how the district should incorporate artificial intelligence into curriculum rather than a fixed list of skills. "Human skills—critical thinking, collaboration, empathy, judgment—have to remain the priority," Raynard said, adding that the committee favored a living red‑orange‑green framework (updated annually) and separate frameworks for teachers and students.

Raynard also emphasized assessment challenges posed by AI: if students can generate final products with AI, evaluators should focus on process, performance and authentic demonstrations of understanding. The committee will share the document of focus areas and key questions as input for administrators to use in future curricular decisions.
