What this document actually says
This draft policy establishes guidelines for how Reed Union School District will use artificial intelligence (AI) tools in schools. The policy is built on nine core principles: AI should personalize learning for students, support (not replace) teachers and staff, be used ethically and transparently, ensure accountability, provide equitable access for all students, protect privacy and security, include ongoing professional development for staff, engage the community in discussions about AI use, and be continuously evaluated and improved. The policy defines AI as machine-based systems that can generate outputs influencing physical or virtual environments. It references related policies on technology use, student assessment, and academic honesty. The policy is pending approval with a last review date of June 2, 2026.
What this means for your family
This policy will govern how AI tools are used in your child's classroom and schoolwork. It aims to ensure AI enhances learning while preserving critical thinking skills, protects student privacy, and provides equal access to all students. Teachers will receive training on responsible AI use, and the district will engage families in ongoing conversations about how these tools are being used in schools.
