Across the country, district leaders are faced with pivotal decisions about how artificial intelligence is introduced, governed, and used across classrooms. These choices have significant implications for teaching, student well-being, and community trust. However, leaders often face these decisions without clear insight into how students are actually interacting with AI in real time.

New data from the past 80 days of AI usage across 1,312 districts in 39 states offers learnings for how AI tools are—and should—be used. Join us for a timely conversation on what real-world student AI usage data reveals about readiness, risk, and responsibility, and how districts can move beyond the “ban vs. embrace” debate toward clear guardrails that support both innovation and safety.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

  • What current student AI usage trends reveal about how 1.2 million conversations are actually happening in schools
  • Why banning AI tools may create information gaps, and what responsible AI governance looks like at the district and classroom level
  • How AI usage data can surface early safety and wellness signals across thousands of districts
  • Practical steps district leaders can take now to create balanced, transparent AI policies
