Trustee Kathy urged the board to consider a standalone artificial-intelligence policy, saying other districts and webinar leaders recommended a separate AI policy in addition to existing rules. She referenced district policies "5,426 dash e" on acceptable use and "5,550" on privacy and security and said AI is coming into classrooms and should be governed explicitly.
