New rules for using AI in school
What happened
The board approved a new artificial intelligence policy (7540.09) on September 14, 2026. Earlier, in January, it added an AI goal to its plan with a K-12 scale that tells students when AI use is allowed and a process for reviewing suspected AI cheating. Student handbooks also added rules against AI-made harassment.
Why it matters to families
These rules decide how students may use tools like chatbots for schoolwork and what happens if they misuse them.
