This workshop is designed for district and regional leaders seeking to build a shared understanding of the evolving AI landscape in K–12 education. Participants will examine emerging AI policy frameworks, regulatory considerations, and district-level governance strategies, with an emphasis on responsible adoption that supports instructional goals without increasing educator burden.

Through guided discussion and applied district examples, participants will explore how the SchoolAI platform aligns with Washington state guidance, district priorities, and classroom realities—helping bridge policy and practice in a sustainable way. The session emphasizes ethical use, student safety, data privacy, and implementation models that districts can support with clarity and confidence.
