Los Alamitos USD Board of Education Meeting Workshop Tuesday, August 25 2026

The Los Alamitos Unified School District Board of Education held a workshop meeting on August 25, 2026, focusing primarily on the district's approach to emerging technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Dr. Dan Bennett, newly appointed Director of Technology and Career Technical Education (CTE), presented the work of the AI task force, which developed a proposed emerging technology policy (Board Policy 0441) aimed at guiding AI use in teaching, learning, and district operations. The task force included diverse stakeholders and met multiple times to address academic integrity, ethical AI use, and AI literacy. The policy emphasizes student-centered, transparent, and equitable AI integration, with a framework for AI use levels in assignments. The board discussed plans for policy implementation, ongoing professional development, and future policy revisions based on state guidance and technological advances. No specific procurement or contract awards were discussed during the meeting.
