Board considers its first AI policy
What happened
On October 13, 2026, the board was set to hear the first reading of a new policy, 8705 'Generative Artificial Intelligence'. It was one of 26 state school board association (ISBA) model policies on the agenda.
Why it matters to families
A generative AI policy would set rules for how students and staff may use tools like chatbots for schoolwork. The district has no AI policy posted yet.
The evidence
The October 13, 2026 amended agenda lists '8705 Generative Artificial Intelligence' under 'Approve first reading of ISBA Policies'. The policy text was not posted, and a second reading is still needed to adopt it.
