As AI tools rapidly enter K-12 classrooms, district leaders face increasing pressure to balance innovation with safety, transparency, and accountability. Many districts are still defining policies, access controls, and reporting practices that guide responsible AI use across schools.

This webinar explores practical strategies for implementing and governing AI at the district level. Attendees will learn how to establish clear guidelines for AI use, manage access to emerging tools, monitor potential risks, and communicate transparently with parents and communities. The session will also highlight ways districts can track adoption trends and evaluate the impact of AI over time.

Hear directly from district leaders who have navigated AI governance in their own systems. Speakers will share lessons learned, common challenges, and real-world approaches for building sustainable frameworks that support safe, strategic AI adoption in K-12 education.
