Artificial Intelligence has long been present but has recently transformed education through generative AI. Prominent tools include OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, with many more emerging in the market at a rapid pace.
The EWSD has made a decision to leave these tools open and available to all students and staff but with limitations imposed. We have also begun a process of awareness and training in their use.
While more work is proceeding internally in the District by the Digital Learning team and an AI committee, we wish to share the following with our community regarding our guidelines concerning the use of AI.

Visiting WCAX
The Computer Animation Web Design program at CTE visited WCAX on a field trip to explore careers and the post-secondary education it took to obtain them. Working with Jay Barton, the Vice President and General Manager of WCAX, students had a tour of the facility, learned about their workflow, and met with content creators.
