Community member praises district’s new generative‑AI guidance for students and staff
Summary
A public commenter thanked the board for adopting a permissive generative‑AI policy and urged guidance for teachers on academic‑honesty boundaries; the board acknowledged the comment during public comment time.
Michael Kennedy, identifying himself as a community member in Trustee Area 3, addressed the board during public comments to commend the district’s recent adoption of a permissive generative‑AI policy (referenced in the transcript as policy section 5131). He said the policy rightly arms students with an important tool and urged the district to clarify what constitutes violations of academic honesty for teachers and certificated staff.
"I do still wanna thank you all...allowing students to arm themselves with this knowledge is, really admirable," Kennedy said. He noted that the board had already adopted the policy and framed his remarks as appreciation and a request for clear classroom guidance. No trustee response changing policy was recorded during the meeting.
The comment was listed as a public‑comment item at the end of the agenda and will remain part of the public record; the policy itself was described as already adopted.
