A sweeping policy change will restrict artificial intelligence tools for younger students, imposing a one-year ban on their use for all pre-K through 8th grade learners. Meanwhile, high school students will still have access to AI, though with tighter controls on how and when it can be applied. The decision aims to address concerns over academic integrity and developmental appropriateness in elementary and middle school settings. Schools are now preparing to implement the new guidelines, which will reshape how technology is integrated into classrooms.
Students pre-K through 8th grade will face a one-year blanket ban while high school students will have limited AI use available.
