LBUSD recognizes that responsible use of AI varies depending on context, including but not limited to grade level, subject and classroom activity. Principals and teachers, with guidance from Level Offices, Instructional Coaches, and inputs from the school community, determine whether, when, and how AI tools will be used in the school.
Staff are encouraged to explore, learn, and use AI tools in accordance with existing laws, District policies and guidelines. Each user bears the responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws and policies regarding data security and privacy. AI users are also responsible for reviewing all AI-generated output before use.
Age appropriateness. In accordance with Federal CIPA and COPPA regulations, most common consumer-grade GenAI tools are not suitable for use by students under age 13. Education-specific GenAI tools may be appropriate for use by students under age 13.
Instructional applications with embedded AI functionality, such as grammar, reading, math, and computer science tools may be used in the classroom.
