K-12 students should be trained on the appropriate use of AI. The recommendation requires further analysis. The District determined that this recommendation requires further analysis for the following reasons: Currently the District does not intend to specifically train students on the appropriate use of AI, as most commercial products are not intended for those under the age of thirteen. Ongoing analysis will take place as more programs become available, adhering to state and federal regulations. Currently the District is using Common Sense lessons with sixth grade students on AI basics. The District's further analysis regarding this recommendation will be completed and reviewed by the District's superintendent, who will inform the governing board before December 13, 2024.
