Team Determination

District Wide - AI Use Policy for LPS Students

Students should only use Generative AI systems for schoolwork if they have been instructed to do so by their teacher. Assignments should follow instructor guidelines in order to avoid issues of academic honesty and plagiarism. All policies related to academic honesty and plagiarism apply to use of Generative AI systems by students (MLA Guide to Generative AI Citations; APA Guide to Generative AI Citations). Academic Integrity is doing your own work or collaborating within the boundaries as specified by the assignment and giving credit to others when you use their ideas or products. Academic Dishonesty means presenting someone else’s work as your own. This includes using resources and not citing them. These resources include (but are not limited to) ChatGPT, Wikipedia, Google Image searches and more. 

Team Determination AI Use Policy

 A Team Determination teacher may ask your student about the possibility of *inappropriate* generative AI use (per the district policy) if we observe the following things:

• Text appearing in large chunks per edit in a shared Google Doc's revision history

• Unexpected vocabulary

• A general tone which does not directly address the question/content

This is simply a conversation asking a student about their process. If it seems as though generative AI has been used, the student will redo the assignment and teachers will reach out to home. 

Thank you for your support as we navigate the brave new world of AI as educators!
