What happened

Policy updates on the July 15 and August 19, 2026 agendas add AI expectations for students: no putting personal or non-public data into unapproved AI tools, disclosing AI help on submitted work when staff require it, and no AI for bullying, deepfakes or cheating. Using AI to do schoolwork without permission counts as academic dishonesty. They refer to a separate Policy 7540.08 on AI.

Why it matters to families

It sets clear rules for students and families about homework and AI.

The evidence

The policy packet text; the board approved second readings of policy batches in August and September 2026.
