As emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) become more prevalent, our school district adopted policy 815.1 on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education to guide the safe, effective, and responsible use of these tools and resources for student learning. Policy 815.1 was developed in the recognizing Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) technology that has progressed rapidly in recent years. Currently, although there are no state or federal statutes specifically requiring the adoption of a policy on the use of AI in education, schools are moving forward with integrating Gen AI into education to provide students with the best possible educational opportunities and to prepare them for the future.

Our goal is to create a learning environment where AI technologies empower rather than replace the human aspects of education. We recognize the potential these technologies have and the need to prepare students for a future where these technologies are everywhere.
