Aledo ISD is dedicated to upholding academic integrity and fostering a culture of originality and ethical behavior among our students. We acknowledge the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enrich the learning experience, but we strictly forbid their use for plagiarism. AISD emphasizes the importance of individual effort, critical thinking, and the responsible use of technology when incorporating AI for idea generation. Teachers play a vital role in guiding students' use of technology and promoting ethical practices. Our educators will offer clear guidelines, instruction, and support to help students understand how to use AI tools responsibly and appropriately in their assignments.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
As emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) become more prevalent, our district is proactively developing principles to guide the safe, effective, and responsible use of these tools for student learning. After careful consideration, we have established the following principles:
SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL GOALS
AI will be thoughtfully used to enhance learning outcomes
for students.
PRIVACY & SECURITY
AI use will align with reguilations protecting student data privacy, safety, and accessibility.
AI LITERACY SKILLS
Students and teachers will build skills to critically evaluate and utilize AI technologies ethically.
BENEFITS & ADDRESS RISKS
We will cautiously explore AI benefits while proactively addressing risks.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students will produce original work and properly credit sources, including AI tools.
MONITOR & EVALUATE
We will review AI tools and practices to ensure they are used responsibly and effectively, promoting a safe and beneficial learning environment for all students.
MAINTAIN HUMAN AGENCY
AI will provide support, not replace educator and student discretion in decisions. Our staff will set parameters when and how AI systems can be used.
We emphasize the following expectations regarding the use of AI tools in student assignments:
Originality
Students must take personal responsibility for the originality and authenticity of their work. Assignments should reflect their own thoughts, ideas, and understanding of the subject matter.
Proper Attribution and Citation
When incorporating AI-generated content into their assignments, students must accurately cite and attribute the sources. This includes acknowledging the use of AI tools and providing appropriate citations or attributions for any external content generated by AI algorithms.
Academic Integrity
Students should adhere to the principles of academic integrity, honesty, and respect for intellectual property rights. Plagiarism, whether facilitated by AI tools or any other means, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.
