AI Committee

In the 2024/2025 school year, Lethbridge School Division, under the leadership of the Director of Technology, formed a Division Artificial Intelligence Committee.
The committee included 32 members that represented students, parents, teachers, support staff, school administrators, Division leadership and community interest groups.
The full committee met in person in the fall and spring, and a smaller staff subcommittee met twice to synthesize the feedback and data gathered from those meetings. In the end, a document was created to reflect the diverse perspectives shared throughout the process.
The committee aimed to better understand how generative AI tools will be integrated into education, and to outline Division beliefs and make recommendations on how to proceed securely and cautiously.
Recommendations and actions for the Division, school administrators, teachers, students and parents/guardians/caregivers were created.
The Division hopes to continue the work into the 2025/2026 school year.
