Board adopts a new policy on AI in classrooms

What happened

On Jan. 21, 2026 the board adopted Policy 4526.2, on using generative and traditional artificial intelligence in instruction. It explains what AI is and sets rules for how students and staff may use it.

Why it matters to families

AI tools are already in district classrooms (the district bought a MagicSchool AI license). Families now have a written rule on student use, copyright, and student data privacy.

The evidence

At the Jan. 21 meeting an assistant superintendent described the policy as an extension of the technology acceptable-use policy covering expectations for student and staff use, copyright, and data privacy and security. The policy text was not among the documents we could collect, so details beyond that description are unknown.
