Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Guidelines for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In the educational setting, all CCPS staff should refrain from using AI in a high-stakes manner. Never input Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as social security numbers, home addresses, health information, academic information, or other sensitive data into AI systems. If you have questions about using AI for a specific purpose, please contact your supervisor in writing. 

CCPS is committed to promoting AI literacy and preparing students for an AI-driven future. This outlines the guidelines and expectations for the responsible and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools within Catoosa County Public Schools. CCPS students and staff are expected to use technology in a manner consistent with the CCPS Student and Parent Handbook and the CCPS Staff Handbook, including the use of any and all AI tools, and according to the Internet Acceptable Use Policy (IFBG).
