Waterford Union High School Board of Education · February 16, 2026

Summary

The board approved Neola Volume 35-1 and School Support Organizations updates. Superintendent Francois said Associate Principal Peperkorn and the WUHS Innovation Team are drafting a protocol and procedure handbook to guide staff and student use of artificial intelligence.

The Waterford Union High School Board on Feb. 16 approved the Neola Volume 35-1 policy updates and School Support Organizations revisions as presented. Doug Schwartz moved to approve the updates; Dennis Purtell seconded, and the motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.

Superintendent Francois told the board the district is preparing guidance on artificial intelligence. "An initial draft of a protocol and procedure handbook has been developed to establish District guidelines on the use of AI," the minutes record; Francois said Associate Principal Peperkorn and the WUHS Innovation Team have been researching the topic and that a near-final handbook will be shared with the board when available. The board discussion focused on how staff and students will be expected to use AI tools in instructional settings and the need for clear procedures before widespread classroom adoption.

The minutes do not state specific disciplinary measures or detailed handbook language; Francois said the draft will be shared with the board once it becomes near-final.
