The premise
School AI policies are being written now; informed parent input shapes what they become.
What AI does well here
- Ask about the school's published AI policy and how it's communicated to students and families
- Ask what teacher PD has happened on AI (and what's planned)
- Ask about which AI tools the school uses and what student data goes into them
- Volunteer for the parent committee shaping AI policy if one exists
What AI cannot do
- Force a reluctant school to develop policy quickly
- Substitute for the teacher's classroom-level discretion
- Replace the school administrator's authority
