School District 191 Policy Committee - June 16, 2026

The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 Policy Committee met on June 16, 2026, primarily to review and discuss updates to the district's Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence policy. The committee examined proposed modifications to align the AI policy with existing district policies, particularly regarding personally identifiable information (PII) and the evaluation of AI tools. They emphasized integrating AI governance within existing digital resource evaluation processes rather than creating separate AI-specific committees or procedures. The discussion also covered equitable access to AI technology for students and staff, transparency in AI use affecting student decisions, and procedural versus policy-level details. Additionally, the committee approved a minor update to Policy 202 regarding school board officers' duties, specifically allowing the treasurer to perform chair duties in certain absences. Several policies with no changes, including those related to purchasing and bid requirements, were recommended for consent approval at the next board meeting. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session, but the discussion on digital resource evaluation and AI tool approval processes may influence future procurement activities.
