AI Use and Adoption District Goals for the 2026–2027 School Year Board Report • Eudora Schools USD 491
Our Goal Eudora Schools will build district-wide AI literacy so that every staff member and student can use generative AI Safely, Ethically, and Effectively (SEE Framework by AI for Education). This year is a pilot: staff certification opens on a self-paced, open timeline, and student engagement scales by grade band — from teacher-modeled use in the early grades to independent, accountable use in high school. The aim is consistent, informed practice across every classroom, not uniform tool adoption.
The SEE Framework Lens
What it means at Eudora
Safe
Students and staff protect privacy, use only district-approved tools, and know when to involve an adult.
Ethical
Students and staff disclose AI use honestly, evaluate outputs for bias and fairness, and give proper credit.
Effective
AI supports — never replaces — a student's own thinking, reasoning, and final product.
Educator Training AI Literacy Pre-Requisite Successful completion of the district-approved AI Literacy Educator Training aligned to the SEE Framework is required before staff engage students in any AI-supported learning experiences. During the 2026–27 pilot year, staff will complete the training on a flexible timeline. Upon certification, educators may integrate AI into classroom instruction following the grade band-approved practices. Insights from the pilot will inform district implementation and future expectations for 2027–28.
Student AI Literacy Training (Grades 9-12) High school students will develop AI literacy through a dedicated instruction designed to build the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking needed to navigate an AI-powered world Safely, Ethically, and Effectively (SEE Framework). Through interactive lessons, real-world applications, and guided practice, students will explore how AI works, evaluate its opportunities and limitations, and learn practical strategies for using AI responsibly across academic and real-world contexts.

Student Use by Grade Band Grade Band
2026–27 Goal
PK–2
Teacher-modeled only. No independent student use; AI literacy built through demonstration, discussion, and unplugged activities.
3–5
Guided, supervised use of teacher-approved tools only, with every activity scaffolded and explained.
6–8
Supervised, critical use — students evaluate outputs for accuracy and bias rather than accepting them at face value.
9–12
Independent use as a thinking partner, with documentation, disclosure, and full accountability for the final product.
District-Approved AI Tools Every tool is vetted following privacy and safety practices, fit with policy and age guidelines, and genuine support (not replacement) of student thinking: • MagicSchool AI — staff and students AI assistant, PK–12 staff; 3-12 students • Canva AI — student and staff design projects, students grades 3–12 • NotebookLM — research and study support, students 13+ • Gemini (Google AI) — writing, research, and coding support, PK-12 staff, 6-12 students
Family Engagement A companion Family Guide to AI in the Classroom shares this same SEE framing with parents by grade band, along with questions families can ask at home. A parent guide and webinar will be shared in spring 2027 alongside the student curriculum rollout.
What Success Looks Like • Every classroom reflects a consistent, grade-appropriate standard for AI use — known to families and grounded in the SEE Framework. • Staff certification completed at a healthy rate by year-end, informing 2027–28 pacing decisions. • Students demonstrate increasing proficiency in the AI literacy knowledge, mindsets, and practices needed for safe, ethical, effective AI use as they progress through the grade bands. • Families report clarity and confidence in how AI is used in their child’s classroom.
