District board hears CISA 3 annual report, speaker urges intentional use of AI in classrooms
Summary
District representatives summarized takeaways from the CISA 3 annual meeting, including a presentation urging educators to engage with AI tools intentionally; board members said the cooperative helps secure training and shared services for member districts.
Board members and administrators reported highlights from the CISA 3 annual meeting, emphasizing professional development and cooperative services for the region. An AI-focused presentation drew attention to the need for intentional adoption in schools rather than ignoring the technology.
"If you give an effective educator, the tools to work with AI, they will be more effective," a presenter at the meeting summarized during the report, according to the board discussion. Speakers noted that poor implementation could encourage shortcuts: "If you give a poor educator these same tools, they will look to cut corners, and they will be less effective." The board recorded that CISA 3 helps districts find speakers, consolidate contracts, and organize training across 31 districts in the region.
Board members said the meeting was valuable for networking and learning about innovations in neighboring districts. The report concluded with a recommendation that district staff continue to explore training and guidance for staff and students before broadly deploying AI tools.
