01

Purpose and principles

Our School or District uses artificial intelligence to strengthen teaching, learning, and operations while protecting privacy, fairness, accessibility, academic integrity, healthy human development, and human responsibility.

AI may support—but does not replace—the thinking, relationships, professional judgment, creativity, and accountability at the core of education.

02

Baseline requirements

  • Use only AI tools reviewed and approved by the school or district.
  • Do not enter confidential, personally identifiable, health, disability, disciplinary, or other protected information unless an authorized agreement and approved workflow explicitly allow it.
  • Check important facts, citations, images, calculations, and claims against reliable sources before use or publication.
  • Disclose meaningful AI assistance when required by an assignment, role, or communication context.
  • Provide a non-AI path when access, disability, language, age, or family choice makes it necessary.
  • Keep a person responsible for every consequential educational or operational decision.
03

Use boundaries

Allowed

Educator planning and resource development

Educators review all output for accuracy, bias, accessibility, age appropriateness, and alignment with learning goals.

Supervised / safeguarded

Student brainstorming, tutoring, and practice

Use follows the teacher’s directions, preserves the intended learning, and is disclosed when it materially shapes submitted work.

Scoring, grading, and high-stakes academic decisions

AI may support preparation, but a qualified educator makes, explains, and documents the final decision.

Administrative drafting and routine operations

Staff use approved tools, remove protected information, verify the result, and remain responsible for the final communication or action.

Not allowed

Admissions, discipline, employment, and other consequential decisions

AI does not make or recommend consequential decisions about a person without an approved process, meaningful human review, documentation, and a path to question the decision.

04

Incidents and questions

Report suspected privacy, safety, bias, accuracy, integrity, or misuse concerns to the designated school administrator. The organization will document, review, and respond using its existing safety, privacy, academic-integrity, and personnel procedures.

05

Review and adoption

This policy is reviewed annually and whenever laws, contracts, organizational practices, or material AI capabilities change.

This draft does not require a board or superintendent signature. It should be adopted through the organization’s applicable administrative or governance process.
