Key Focus Areas for Boards & Leaders

When school boards consider generative AI in K–12, they usually wrestle with questions in a few key areas. Use these to frame conversations and adapt the templates and prompts above for your local context.

  • Academic integrity & original thinking – Clarify what is and isn't acceptable use of AI for student work and assessments, and how to protect critical thinking and creativity.
  • AI as a learning tool & classroom use – Define when and how educators and students can use AI tools to support instruction and learning.
  • Content reliability & hallucinations – Acknowledge that AI can be wrong or misleading, and set expectations for verifying AI-generated information.
  • Student data privacy, security & legal use – Spell out what student data can be shared with AI tools, under which laws, and how it will be protected.
  • Bias, fairness & equity of access – Address algorithmic bias and ensure that AI-supported opportunities are available to all students, not just those with better access or support.
  • Human oversight, accountability & due process – Make clear that humans stay responsible for decisions that affect students and staff, and that people can challenge or appeal decisions informed by AI.
  • Professional development & change management – Plan for ongoing training and support so staff can use AI effectively, ethically, and confidently.
  • Vendor selection, contracts & policy review cycle – Set criteria for choosing AI tools and vendors, and define how often the district will revisit and refine AI policies.
