The Pullman School District Board of Directors voted to adopt the district's artificial intelligence guidelines during its regular 2025 meeting, board members said.

The guidelines, prepared by an AI task force of teachers and technology staff, were presented as a follow-up to a prior discussion item and described by the presenter as "a solid start in an area that is quickly evolving," Dr. Courtney Maxwell said during the meeting.

The task force incorporated board feedback from earlier meetings and the district plans further professional development on AI this summer through regional training. Board members said the guidelines are intended as an initial governance document with the possibility of evolving into formal policy and procedures in the future.

Board President (name not specified) moved approval of the guidelines and a colleague seconded the motion. After no substantive questions, the board approved the guidelines by voice vote.

The board and staff intend to expand training for teachers and continue developing implementation details and any necessary procedural changes over the coming year.
