OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 The School District of Osceola County is considering changes to its Code of Student Conduct that would restrict the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and personal wireless devices during the school day. <\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the school board will hold a workshop on the proposed revisions ahead of its regular meeting.<\/p>\n

Every student in Osceola County is already equipped with a school-issued iPad or computer for classroom use.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where they do most of their work. Textbooks, everything\u2019s on there,\u201d parent Jean-Marc Charaudeau said.<\/p>\n

The district is also considering a revision specifically targeting the use of AI during testing. The proposed language states that students may not use AI tools or applications to generate answers to questions on district, state or national standardized assessments.<\/p>\n

Some parents said they see value in AI as a learning tool in certain settings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for me, if they do it in a controlled way, I feel like it can personally make it better in a way,\u201d said parent William Collazo.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to assessments, Collazo feels AI has no place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see how that would benefit testing, because I know for that, at least when I talk to my son about it, that it shouldn\u2019t be used for any type of test,\u201d he said. \u201cI can see if they incorporate it in…<\/p>\n
