Martinsville school board tables proposed AI policy until December
The Martinsville school board has postponed a vote on a proposed artificial intelligence policy, pushing the decision to December. No details about the policy's content were disclosed in available reporting.
Why this matters: Schools are already using AI tools whether or not they have rules for them. Every month without a policy is a month where students and teachers are using these tools with no clear guidance on data, privacy, or accountability. Kids generate a lot of sensitive data in school. A delayed policy is not neutral — it just means decisions are being made by default instead of by design.
