School AI Policy for Parents

A parent-friendly school AI policy covering homework, disclosure, privacy, cheating, tutoring, and family expectations.

Schools are under pressure to make AI rules understandable to parents. A useful parent-facing AI policy should not only say 'do not cheat'; it should explain allowed help, disclosure, privacy, teacher expectations, and what families should do at home.

The policy should distinguish tutoring from substitution. Asking AI to explain a concept is different from submitting AI-written work as the child's own.

Parents need a one-page version they can use at the kitchen table: what is allowed, what must be disclosed, what information should never be typed, and what to ask before homework is handed in.

Parent Checklist

Define allowed AI support for brainstorming, explanation, feedback, and practice.
Define disallowed use such as submitting generated work as original work.
Require disclosure when AI meaningfully contributes to an assignment.
Tell students not to enter personal, school, family, medical, or private information.
Give parents a simple script for homework conversations.

What to Say

Did AI help you understand the work, or did it do the work for you?

What part is your thinking?

If your teacher asked how you used AI, could you explain it honestly?
