001E2 Gowanda HS Library: With the board. Of course the public and I have been looking forward to doing this all day, so I was a little excited about getting started. So code of conduct it just for people watching. It governs the conduct of everybody in the school district students, teachers, school personnel visitors. It's required through Ed Law to have one, and the specifications E2 Gowanda HS Library: prescribed to the Commission's regulations 122. The Board is to review it annually and update it as necessary. So this is our annual review and update E2 Gowanda HS Library: not really extensive. But I just want to share some of the main or the revisions for this coming year. 1st of all, there's edits, dates, and name changes update, you know, the year and the people who may change
002we E2 Gowanda HS Library: later this evening. The Board will adopt policy 73, 16. The use of Internet enabled devices during the school day. This is required through State law E2 Gowanda HS Library: for all school districts in New York. The current code of conduct has in their use of personal technology, like current devices that needs to be replaced, updated with law, and E2 Gowanda HS Library: which I can share here in a second. There's 2 other quick changes for everybody. AI has become pretty ubiquitous here in our society, on the definition of academic integrity. We've added to the definition that AI is expected and to be used, but be used at the direction of the teacher or the parameters of a particular assignment E2 Gowanda HS Library: be permitted. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So
003we want to encourage that students E2 Gowanda HS Library: using AI but appropriately and under the direction of a teacher. And then further down in this I'll show the actual code of academic integrity under plagiarism. Certainly we don't want people copying other people's work and passing it off on their own. But we also had, including AI generated content. It's not that we don't want to discourage students from using AI, but they shouldn't be passing it off generated work as their own. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think that's where the mind should be drawn, because it's really not necessarily work and then E2 Gowanda HS Library: conjunction with board policy in the current code of conduct. There's reference to corporal punishment and emergency interventions E2 Gowanda HS Library: don't necessarily do that. We're replacing it with
004our timeout physical restraint policy which is found in your policy, timeout, physical restraint. We're just basically borrowing the language from current policy, updated code of conduct. So those are the major changes. And I can quickly review. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Look at the code date changes dollar names. E2 Gowanda HS Library: You can see where we're getting rid of our previous language, reduce personal technology, replacing with Internet enabled devices E2 Gowanda HS Library: become current, and then timeout and physical restraint replacing corporal punishment. Because we don't do corporal punishment in school. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and this last one E2 Gowanda HS Library: I don't know if you want me to show you the actual crossed out stuff. But those are the revisions for for next year. E2 Gowanda HS Library: On our August 13th
005Board meeting. I'd like to bring the final document to the board. The recommendation for the Board's approval for use, this upcoming school year and next steps between now and August 13.th If people in the public, the board, or whoever has questions or comments. Please let me know I can address those with folks again. I'd like to recommend revised code of conduct for next school year at our next meeting for approval E2 Gowanda HS Library: code of conduct and the new Revised one will be posted on our school website for everybody to see, and that information will be also be shared with families in plain language, as per regulation with families. Get the summary version about something we could do so. Those are the changes. I'm sure. Board members have some questions, comments about those changes.
006E2 Gowanda HS Library: That's you. E2 Gowanda HS Library: My question is regarding the use of AI. Instead, the use of direction of the direction of the teacher. E2 Gowanda HS Library: or in the parameters of a particular scene, is doing research nowadays. E2 Gowanda HS Library: How do they know what's real or not real. E2 Gowanda HS Library: We are to know where out there, like legit sources and subjects. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Well, I think that's part of the role of a teacher. That's where the you know, you can use AI to generate your paper. But you really need your teacher to guide you through that part of the process. Sources, critical thinkers, skeptical of where to get stuff and actually talk about what is good research, which isn't actually just putting in
007AI or doing Google, it's actually going E2 Gowanda HS Library: throughout the process. I was going to just add that all of our all preschool library media specialists all do extensive lessons with the classes on researching. And what is a site that is E2 Gowanda HS Library: revenue? Proven? Yes, reputable. And what isn't E2 Gowanda HS Library: that? We should cite their sources? Yes, there's a lot of work on citing appropriately. Again, I just wanted to make sure E2 Gowanda HS Library: it will not be if they they're doing research, and E2 Gowanda HS Library: they pick up stuff that's not. E2 Gowanda HS Library: And most of our staff members and lessons that I've seen will walk students through. These are these are the 5 or 6 sources that are recommended when you're doing
008research papers, you know. They'll show up the specific websites or text you use. I use AI research E2 Gowanda HS Library: lectures and things like that. But the AI will direct you to the source, the primary source where it pulled that information so they should be learning that. But you can't reply. You can't rely on this part. You have to go back one step further, and E2 Gowanda HS Library: and our presenters from boces who've been facilitating a lot of the artificial intelligence lessons for our teachers, for professional growth, have said to teachers, this is where you need to go to make sure that what you're generating here is actual content that's been vetted as well. So Boces does a great job reminding Staff of that, too, when they're coming up with their content. E2
009Gowanda HS Library: It's new frontier. It's all all new. E2 Gowanda HS Library: alright. Any other comments or concerns. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Will the draft version be posted after tonight? Yeah, we'll post that up tonight. People can comment on that, and then we'll obviously E2 Gowanda HS Library: next up. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Thank you, Dr. Anderson, thank you very much. E2 Gowanda HS Library: That brings us to consideration. A motion to adjourn public hearing.
