Summary
Board members were told the AI committee will be reorganized at school-year start and that district leaders are still discussing appropriate protocols for permissible classroom AI use and detection tools; the district is not implementing mandatory AI-detection software now.
Board members discussed artificial-intelligence policies and committee timing at the July 20 meeting and were told the AI committee will be reorganized when the school year begins and that the district is still developing protocols for AI use and detection.
Superintendent Stout said the committee will resume as the new school year starts and that the district is not putting a single AI-detection tool in place at this time. He said the committee will consider permitted classroom uses, controlled environments where AI should not be available, review historical document comparisons and review legal developments; the district will continue conversations to find a measured approach.
The nut graf: Administrators emphasized the topic is under active review because of legal and technical controversies surrounding AI-detector software and that any districtwide policy will aim to balance instructional opportunities with academic integrity and legal constraints. The board requested the committee reconvene a few weeks into the school year to produce a timeline for recommendations.
No formal policy was adopted at the meeting; the matter remains an ongoing administrative and committee-level issue.
