North Carolina schools have no single AI policy | Verify
North Carolina's public schools are operating without a unified policy on artificial intelligence, leaving individual districts to set their own rules — or none at all.
Why this matters: When there is no single policy, students in different zip codes get completely different protections. One district may have guardrails on what AI tools can collect from kids. The next may have nothing. Parents have no reliable way to know what applies to their child. Schools handle some of the most sensitive data that exists — minors' records, behavior, learning struggles. A policy vacuum is not neutral. It just means the decisions get made by vendors instead of by anyone accountable to families.
