Gilmanton adopts a policy governing staff use of generative AI

What happened

The board adopted a new policy on generative artificial intelligence and added an annual review requirement. The policy committee described it as setting guidelines for responsible staff use; it said student use was not permitted under existing district rules.

Why it matters to families

The policy establishes districtwide expectations for staff use of generative AI, while clarifying that it does not authorize student use. Annual review means the board will revisit the rules regularly.

The evidence

The October 13, 2026 draft minutes record the board’s unanimous adoption of Policy EHAG, with a requirement for annual review. The September 8, 2026 policy committee minutes describe the policy as addressing proper management and responsible staff use and state that student use was not then permissible.
