The vote was 6-0.

A staff member who presented the item said the policy change adds AI to existing Press (IASB) policy references and that the district will follow up by drafting detailed administrative procedures. “We need to adopt a plan. We need to have an acceptable use policy, which we already have,” the presenter said, adding administrators have convened a committee and engaged an outside expert to help craft the procedures.

Nut graf: The board’s action adds AI-specific language to the district’s policy framework; it does not itself define all permitted or prohibited classroom uses. Presenters said existing academic-integrity and cheating policies will be used as the baseline and that the administrative procedures will define specifics such as permitted instructional use, staff safety, and parent notification.

Board members pressed on how parents and staff will be notified. Presenters said the district’s existing acceptable-use and registration processes reference board policies and that parents sign those forms at registration; the district will incorporate AI procedures into those materials before the school year starts.

Ending: The district will develop administrative procedures, training and parent-facing materials this summer and fall; presenters suggested the Illinois Association of School Boards and state conferences could offer professional development on related legal and equity topics.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","District 118 BOE meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Danville School District 118 board approved policy language addressing artificial intelligence and directed staff to draft administrative procedures and training for implementation.","taxTitle","Danville CCSD 118, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",53582,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6164571,"Board unanimously appoints Reggie Warfield to fill vacancy on Danville School Board",398,751000,1149000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428244-8bc5e3dbc1d032f98d80823dded72444&start=751&end=1149","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428244-8bc5e3dbc1d032f98d80823dded72444/thumbnail_751000.jpg","/articles/6164571/Illinois/Board-unanimously-appoints-Reggie-Warfield-to-fill-vacancy-on-Danville-School-Board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164571-d26da54865dd0ae762e1cbd1146c0f70/orig.mp4?Expires=1770480317&Signature=N6CRo0r~W9p22HGc1fW9-2Ff-ML74ryHWJumzzJGBxkbVmXXwJ65z72~jzsXDyt3bdRA~4yrtRKMlpIDiEH4u0fGkXvOr-eM2pa7QZVc8TT6-0mx4Dh3GZ4jlo9RUB~Bps3fgBO8ke9lMylgapyQ8HUAFdMYyQ-imz7Qxq6hv~ZYb230JHbTG5rESCZwbdj2uoOfR4UJuA2k4t9TUYEKi2D~T03QvQn30oDi2nFU1O6TS3PEYY4biJsaTN7zA~5n78NgRax8eg5dTW3PgG~QphUVO~rqaMCp9ptkzoaJzzTDV7-BtnGhHZZJ8aZG8im7EoUI7bFw3GApGjQ3D1gybg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Danville School District 118 Board of Education voted unanimously to appoint Reggie Warfield to fill the board vacancy created by the resignation of Pastor Thomas Miller.

Board members said they had opened the vacancy under board policy 2.7, interviewed three finalists and made a unanimous choice. The motion to appoint Warfield carried on a roll-call vote; the board then conducted the swearing-in ceremony.

Nut graf: Warfield, who the board noted is a financial adviser, a school mentor and the parent of three District 118 students, took the oath of office and pledged to “faithfully discharge the duties of the office of member of the board of education of Danville School District 118,” per the standard oath administered at the meeting.

After the oath, Warfield said, “I just wanna say thank you. I'm looking forward to it. I know it's gonna be a lot of work, but I know it's important work.” Board members offered public welcome and said they expected him to bring community perspective to the board.

Ending: The board scheduled Warfield to be active immediately; he was present for subsequent votes later in the meeting.","After interviewing three candidates, the Danville School District 118 board moved to appoint Reggie Warfield to fill the board vacancy created by Pastor Thomas Miller’s resignation.

The board approved the purchase 6-0.

Bretz told the board the service would “sync nightly and using students' current grades each night and our graduation requirements, will give us a daily update on where every child in the school is related to graduation and whether they're on track or not.” He said the total three-year cost is $34,100 and “includes a one-time $10,000 integration fee” to connect Panorama to the district student information system, Skyward.

Nut graf: The tool is intended to free counselors from time-consuming manual transcript reviews and give administrators daily visibility into each student's progress toward graduation. Bretz said the funds would come from Danville High School’s Illinois Empower funds, money restricted to the high school's school-improvement activities and budgeted for purchase services in the current fiscal year.

During discussion, a board member asked how the district would measure the new service’s effectiveness and whether staff were actually using it. Bretz said he meets biweekly with the school counselor and would make platform use a standing item in those meetings; he added the district had already seen gains using Panorama’s existing student-success tools, including an increase in graduation rate and freshman-on-track metrics.

Bretz described the expected implementation mechanics: nightly automatic file transfers from the district’s IT systems to Panorama and daily updates in the morning. He also said the $10,000 integration is a one-time fee; if the district continued the service after three years the ongoing cost would be $6 per student per year.

The board moved and approved the purchase. The motion carried 6-0.

Ending: Bretz told the board that other elementary and middle schools had expressed interest in the Panorama Pathways tool and that the district might pilot additional campuses at low or no cost in the future.
