Public, trustees push back on policy 7300 and flagged AI language
Summary
Speakers at the Jericho board meeting raised concerns about policy 7300's length and a clause referencing 'inappropriate use of ChatGPT or other artificial intelligence'; trustees indicated they would not carry the first reading forward in its current form.
During the public comment period and again during new business, members of the public and trustees raised objections to proposed policy 7,300 (District code of character, conduct and support), including a passage mentioning artificial intelligence. One resident, speaking from the public, said the policy "is too long" and described the AI provision as problematic for students entering a changing workforce: "The policy was, in my opinion, insane. It's too long."
Trustees discussed the policy in the board packet and several members signaled they preferred to rework the proposal before advancing it; when taken for first reading, the board voted and the motion did not carry. Trustees said they would return with a clearer, more narrowly drafted policy later.
