Education unanimously approved an artificial intelligence implementation plan on May 26 to begin using AI technology in classrooms and administrative settings starting from the 2026-27 school year.<\/li>\n<li>The plan sets guidelines for the ethical use of AI, focusing on academic integrity, student privacy, and critical thinking.<\/li>\n<li>Superintendent Dana Smith indicated that the framework was developed using guidance and examples from other districts, including Chicago Public Schools and Los Angeles Unified School District.<\/li>\n<li>Teachers will be responsible for clearly communicating AI use rules on assignments, and students are required to disclose how AI tools were used in their schoolwork.<\/li>\n<li>The policy also includes protections against academic dishonesty and privacy safeguards, prohibiting the submission of AI-generated work as original work without disclosure.<\/li>\n<li>The district plans to introduce digital citizenship and AI literacy programs for grades 6-8 starting in 2026-27.<\/li>\n<li>An Instructional Technology Advisory Committee will be formed to review policies, recommend professional development, and aid in developing ethical AI use guidelines.<\/li>\n<li>There are no current direct costs associated with the plan, although the Board of Education might consider purchasing an approved AI platform later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flossmoor School District 161 Board approves artificial intelligence plan
