What this document actually says
This policy establishes guidelines for how Reed Union School District will use artificial intelligence (AI) in schools. Adopted June 1, 2025, it outlines 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 across all schools, protect privacy and security, include ongoing professional development for staff, engage the community in understanding AI use, and be regularly evaluated for improvement. The policy requires AI use to comply with existing district policies on technology, academic honesty, homework, student assessment, and data privacy. It defines AI as machine-based systems that can generate outputs influencing physical or virtual environments.
What this means for your family
Your child may use AI tools for personalized learning experiences, but teachers will continue leading instruction. The district will ensure all students have equal access to AI resources regardless of background or ability. AI use must follow academic honesty rules, and student privacy will be protected. Parents can expect community engagement opportunities to learn about and discuss how AI is used in classrooms.
