High-school handbook assigns zero for AI academic dishonesty
What happened
Agawam High School’s 2026–27 handbook includes AI use in its academic-dishonesty rule and assigns a zero to the work.
Why it matters to families
This affects how high-school work is graded. It is a high-school rule; it does not establish a ban on all AI across the district.
The evidence
Printed page 68 (PDF page 80) states the rule. The committee approved the 2026–27 handbook on June 23. The earlier collected high-school handbook has a generic plagiarism rule without an explicit AI reference.
