Board approves Inside School of Washington handbooks with clarified AI and attendance language
Summary
The board approved ISWA high-school, middle-school and elementary handbooks; administrators said changes include a move to a semester model, clarified out-of-state attendance rules, and added guidance on artificial intelligence drawn from OSPI.
Administration presented updates to Inside School of Washington handbooks for the 2025–26 school year and explained the major changes: a shift to a semester model on the high-school side, clarified policies about out-of-state attendance for online students, and a new academic-integrity section addressing artificial intelligence guidance aligned with OSPI.
The board moved to approve the high-school, middle-school and elementary handbooks in separate motions; each motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Administrators apologized for the later-than-usual distribution and said the changes were prioritized to support students and teachers during larger system transitions.
