# Charleston County School District Plans AI Training

Charleston County School District discontinued classroom assignments that used AI-generated student imagery after concerns arose about consent, student privacy, and the educational value of AI use with young children. The district plans districtwide educator training in the coming weeks on privacy, approved tools, ethical use, and instructional practice. No solicitation, contract, or funding has been identified, but the planned training points to a potential need for K–12 AI governance and implementation support.

- Education and technology providers can assess whether their educator training, privacy guidance, or approved-tool services align with the topics the district plans to address.
- The district’s response highlights practical areas for K–12 procurement planning: student data safeguards, responsible-use practices, and appropriate classroom applications of AI.
- Because no procurement opportunity or solicitation is specified, this is an indicator of possible future demand rather than an active bid opportunity.
