Leading with Integrity:
AI Policy & Readiness for K–12 Districts

AI is already in your schools. The question isn’t whether to use it—it’s how to do it responsibly.

Introduction

At MagicSchool, we believe great AI policy is proactive, not reactive. It doesn’t just limit risks; it unlocks opportunity. That’s why we partner with districts to go beyond compliance by supporting frameworks that promote student outcomes, teacher empowerment, and district-level oversight.

This strategic blueprint draws from leading national practices, educator-tested frameworks, and district exemplars. Whether you’re just getting started or refining your approach, we’re here to help you lead with clarity and confidence.

Your strategic blueprint

1. Usage Guidelines

Districts need clear, forward-looking guidance on how AI should be used across instruction, operations, and student engagement. Strong AI policies articulate purposeful use cases aligned to district goals.

2. Safety & Privacy

Parents, teachers, and district leaders must trust that AI use doesn’t compromise student data or digital safety. Policies should codify best practices in privacy, transparency, and human-centered oversight.

3. Equity & Access

AI should close gaps, not widen them. Strong policies address equity in access, representation, and implementation to ensure AI benefits every learner, regardless of background or ability.

4. AI Readiness & Literacy

The future of learning is AI-literate. Districts leading the way are investing in both educator capacity and student fluency. AI literacy isn’t just a tech skill; it’s an equity imperative.
