Board advances MSBA model AI policy on first reading
Summary
The board took the first reading of MSBA's recommended AI policy (policy 6-25) and approved it to move forward; the policy establishes procedures and protocols for AI use in schools and will proceed through the board’s review process.
The board advanced an MSBA‑recommended artificial intelligence policy (policy 6‑25) on a first reading after a policy‑committee report. A committee member told the board that MSBA and its attorneys recommend the policy: “It's highly, highly, highly recommended that we put it in by MSBA,” they said, explaining the policy establishes processes for handling AI in schools.
Board members also discussed related updates to personal communication device and student attendance policies; the personal communication devices policy will add wearable devices and set expectations for middle and high school, and the attendance update clarifies that absences are unexcused if parents do not contact the school, which affects access to services. The motion to approve the first reading and to accept the other policy readings carried on recorded voice votes.
