District news
AI chatbots are not allowed for classroom use
What happened
At the Dec 1, 2025 meeting the district's curriculum leader said the updated AI guidance bars AI chatbots from instructional use. Sites such as Character AI and Replika are blocked on school Chromebooks. Staff may use one approved tool, Google Gemini, under a privacy agreement. The district also runs AI and privacy training each year.
Why it matters to families
Families should know which AI tools students can use in class and which are blocked on school devices. The guidance is a district document, not a board policy.
The evidence
The Dec 1, 2025 minutes record the report to the Board. The district's AI guidance is on its plans page (version 1.5, October 2025) and covers academic integrity and prohibited uses.
