Board flags homework policy, raises AI concerns; 'No Homework' language to be reworded
Summary
Board members and administration reviewed handbook language, expressing concern that students may use AI to bypass homework and emphasizing in-class practice and demonstration of learning; the 'No Homework' policy (Pg. 37) was recommended for rewording and to show 'Reviewed by the Board of Education.'
Board members reviewed student handbook language and debated how to address homework and academic integrity in the age of generative AI. Ms. Nowicki and others described a shift away from homework volume toward classroom practice and assessment focused on demonstrating knowledge and application; the board noted concerns that students "may use AI to bypass traditional homework."
Members asked staff to revise the handbook wording to reflect that emphasis and to change the policy heading language so the document reads "Reviewed by the Board of Education" rather than "Voted on." The transcript indicates the text on Page 37 needs revision to reflect the updated approach to assignments and assessment.
