Build a clear AI policy for your district
AI is already in classrooms. A district-led approach helps schools use it responsibly.
A practical blueprint for AI policy in schools
Strong AI policies give districts and educators clarity. They guide classroom use, protect student data, and support responsible teaching and learning.
Our four-part blueprint highlights the areas most districts focus on when building or refining their AI policy.
Set clear usage guidelines
Shared expectations help teachers and staff understand how and when to use AI in their day-to-day work.
Protect safety and student privacy
Clear policies protect student data and help schools use AI with transparency and human oversight.
Promote equity and access
AI should expand opportunity, not create new gaps. Thoughtful policies help all students and educators access AI, with the support to use it well.
Build AI literacy across your community
AI literacy helps teachers and students understand how AI works and use it responsibly. With training and guidance, schools can help their communities get started.
Resources for district leaders
Introduce AI one step at a time. Move from planning to classroom use while supporting educators and building AI literacy.
