WUHS presents AI handbook proposing four-tier approach; district plans parent education
Summary
District staff presented an AI guidebook that defines four levels of AI use and emphasizes teacher oversight, parent education nights and staff training; presenters said AI should be treated as a learning partner, not a 'cheat code.'
Mark Peperkorn presented the Waterford Union High School AI Guidebook at the June 15 meeting, describing four levels of use — No AI, AI as a Refiner, AI as a Co-creator and AI as the Driver — and recommending review every two to three years as tools evolve. He said the team developed the guidelines to integrate AI into instruction while preserving academic integrity and teacher oversight.
Peperkorn warned that "AI is unavoidable and must be integrated as a learning partner rather than a 'cheat code.'" He described a "human Oreo" approach that requires human input, AI-generated results and human verification, and the board discussed the additional staff workload and plans for parent education nights, staff professional lessons and advisory sessions for students. The handbook was also shared with the WGS District Administrator so middle school students could begin learning acceptable AI use.
