AI in South Windsor Public Schools
At South Windsor Public Schools, technology serves instruction—never the other way around. We view Artificial Intelligence as a tool to support human connection, foster deep engagement, and build lasting skills, while maintaining the highest standards for data privacy and safety.
Core Principles
-
AI will never replace human judgment, classroom teachers, or relational learning. Educators remain fully responsible for instructional decisions and student evaluation.
-
We use AI to encourage curiosity, critical analysis, and self-awareness. Students learn to question AI outputs, check for accuracy, and take true ownership of their learning.
-
All tools used in our classrooms must comply with Connecticut Student Data Privacy Laws and FERPA.
-
We provide vetted tools fairly so that AI integration expands learning opportunities for all students without widening gaps.
-
AI will be used to strengthen organizational effectiveness, communication, and informed decision-making across the district. Implementation will be transparent, regularly reviewed, and aligned with the district’s mission and community expectations.
Data Safety & Compliance: Approved vs. Restricted Tools
Connecticut law and district policy require strict protection of student Personally Identifiable Information (PII). South Windsor Public Schools maintains a vetted application ecosystem.
