BoardDocs Policy Document

B. Data Analysis: AI/NLP tools can be used to help students to analyze, understand, and interpret large amounts of data, such as text documents or social media posts. This can be particularly useful for research projects or data analysis assignments — e.g., scientific experiments and marketing research.

C. Language translation: AI/NLP tools can be used to translate texts or documents into different languages, which can be helpful for students who are learning a new language or for students who are studying texts written in a different language.

D. Writing assistance: AI/NLP tools can provide grammar and spelling corrections, as well as suggest alternative word choices and sentence structure, to help students improve their writing skills.

E. Accessibility: AI/NLP tools can be used to help students with disabilities access and understand written materials. For example, text to speech software can help students with specific learning disabilities or visual impairments to read texts and AI powered translation tools can help students with hearing impairments understand spoken language.

As outlined above, under appropriate circumstances, AI/NLP tools can be effectively used as a supplement to and not a replacement for traditional learning methods. Consequently, with prior teacher permission/consent, students can use such resources to help them better understand and analyze information and/or access course materials. If a student has any questions about whether they are permitted to use AI/NLP tools for a specific class assignment, they should ask their teacher.

Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary consequences. Students may be disciplined for violations, up to and including suspension or expulsion.

Staff may be disciplined for violations, up to and including suspension or termination of employment.

The administration will refer any illegal acts to law enforcement.

A.

The School Board acknowledges the positive impact and transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and operations, emphasizing a balanced, people-centered approach. It supports the responsible and innovative use of AI in classrooms and professional settings, with the understanding that AI should enhance human interaction and instruction, not replace it, and all AI-driven decisions require human review. The District Administrator is authorized to support the use of artificial intelligence technology when its use is consistent with the District’s mission, goals, and operational integrity. The [X] Superintendent [X] or designee [END OF OPTIONS] is responsible for overseeing and ensuring compliance of this policy.
