Human oversight for classroom AI use
Beginning July 1, 2026, school employees must direct any AI used for teaching. Educators review AI outputs before using them for lessons, feedback, or tests. AI cannot be the primary basis for grades, discipline, placement, promotion, or retention. Student-facing AI must match students’ age and clear learning goals. Staff keep final say, and AI tools must follow FERPA and minimize student data shared.
Parents get AI disclosures and opt-outs
Beginning July 1, 2026, districts must give parents a yearly written list of every AI tool used. The list names the vendor, what student data is collected, how it is shared, and the purpose. Parents can opt their child out of student-facing AI at any time in writing. Students who opt out are not penalized and still get core instruction. Schools must tell families how AI is used and its limits.
State and district AI rules for schools
Beginning July 1, 2026, the State Department of Education provides guidance on responsible AI in schools. Each school board must adopt and maintain an AI policy before the 2027–2028 school year. The policy names approval roles, allowed and banned uses, data protection and minimization, transparency, and periodic reviews. The State Board may issue rules to implement this law.
