Key findings
The guidance addresses disclosure, permitted assignments, supervision and checks of AI output. Each document addresses different parts of classroom use.
California’s model is optional for local adoption. West Virginia gives educators guidance. Louisiana’s recommendations concern a specific tier and depend on local policy. They do not permit every student or tool to use AI.
