A practical AI acceptable-use policy for schools

Use this framework to define purpose, scope, guardrails, and review for a school AI acceptable-use policy.

Use this page as part of a connected review: understand the purpose, consider the people affected, check the relevant safeguards, and follow the related routes for practical next steps.

A useful AI acceptable-use policy connects school intent to everyday decisions for students, educators, leaders, and families. Start with the educational purpose, then make clear which people, tools, data boundaries, and learning contexts are in scope.

Pair shared policy language with role-specific examples, training, a feedback route, and a recurring review. Include local legal, privacy, security, accessibility, and academic reviewers before adopting policy language.
