What board members said

I will tell you, our weeks, uh, the past 2 weeks, student feedback sessions AI was real topic for the students. We had some really good discussion on AI and was very impressed by our high school students talking about it, speaking about pros, speaking about cons, how much awareness they have around it and their thoughts on it.Camille PetersonPresident · South-Western City School District Board of EducationWatch the full meeting from 36:09

We need to lead by example, and within this new policy is also that non-academic use of AI. That if a reasonable— you shouldn't be using AI to misrepresent, you know, individuals, whether they be on the Board of Education or in the community, staff, other students as well.Kelly DillonBoard member · South-Western City School District Board of EducationWatch the full meeting from 29:35
