Lakota Introduces New Artificial Intelligence Use Policy

What happened

The Board conducted a first read of new Policy 7540.09 governing artificial intelligence use in the district, covering AI literacy, acceptable use, employment training, academic integrity, and safeguards related to intimate imagery concerns raised in other districts.

Why it matters to families

This establishes district-wide rules for how AI can be used by students and staff, with implications for academic integrity enforcement and student safety protections against AI-generated harmful content.

The evidence

Policy committee report: 'policy 7540.09, which is artificial intelligence... it's about the ethical use of artificial intelligence... there are some pieces even about intimate imagery that I know that we've heard a lot about in the news, like in some surrounding districts, and making sure to be proactive.'
