AASA and MIT Media Lab’s Day of AI will convene superintendents and students for a three-day workshop in Boston aimed at producing a workable AI use policy for school districts as classroom adoption accelerates. The effort is designed to address a core obstacle educators cite: unclear guidance and limited professional development on acceptable uses, ethics, and privacy. Students will lead the policy drafting in a legislative simulation inside the Edward M. Kennedy Institute’s Senate chamber replica, producing guardrails focused on student privacy and instructional value. Organizers say the workshop will include multiple student viewpoints, ranging from pro-AI to strongly opposed positions. A key output is expected to be a model policy that AASA can share with its thousands of member districts. At least five states have begun requiring districts to develop AI policies, but most districts still lack formal rules that spell out acceptable uses, integration into instruction, and privacy protections. For school operators, the immediate risk being addressed is policy lag—students and families are increasingly encountering AI tools in school workflows without consistent standards for data handling and classroom governance.
