What Public School AI Policies Have to Teach Private Schools
A reference worth knowing — built for public schools, useful as a starting point for private school leaders.
AI for Education — State AI Guidance Tracker A state-by-state tracker of public K-12 AI guidance, maintained as new state policies are issued.
Three reasons it's worth a look:
1. A working vocabulary. Public school AI guidance documents have already named the categories — data privacy, student use, faculty use, academic integrity, training requirements, vendor evaluation. Whether your school handles them the same way or differently, the categories are a useful scaffold.
2. Range of approaches. Some states have detailed prescriptive guidance. Others have one-page principle statements. Some have nothing yet. The range shows you what's possible before you decide what fits your school.
3. Current state requirements (and what's coming). State guidance varies significantly and changes constantly. The tracker keeps a current view of what's required where — and a signal for what's likely to influence the broader conversation as more states publish.
With thanks to the team at AI for Education, who compile and maintain this tracker as state guidance continues to evolve.
