A generative AI tool was used to provide visuals, videos and images to enhance content on this website, specifically for properly configuring the layout and design using Gemini and NotebookLM. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, edited, and approved by the human author(s). The use of AI in this process was intended to enhance efficiency and clarity while maintaining the integrity and originality of the human-led work.

AI is constantly changing. This Canton Public Schools policies guiding student  and staffengagement with Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be frequently reviewed, at least once annually, to ensure that guidelines, materials, research and artificats capture the most recent research about the fast-evolving field of AI and that students are offered the most educationally sound parameters for engaging AI. These are likely to be reviewed in conjunction with the annual review of each school’s individual Handbook.
