For district leaders and teachers
Closing the distance between the AI tools schools use and the clarity families deserve, with informed consent before a screen turns on.
The problem
What changes
Calm, clear explanations reach families before they decide, so the first thing they feel is informed, not surprised.
The problem
What changes
We give you the parent notices, consent records and approved-tool list your policy calls for, plus the information for your state report.
The problem
What changes
Teachers get automatic consent lists for each class, so nobody is chasing paper slips.
Each district decides which tools to approve and is responsible for its own compliance. Kinsent AI explains tools and records families' choices.
What your district receives
A plain-English card for every AI tool you approve, written and checked by Kinsent AI, signed off by you.
A district portal for your AI policy, your approved tool list, teacher invitations and family choices.
Class-by-class forms where teachers describe how each tool is used and the non-AI alternative.
A personal link for each family to read the cards and choose Yes or Not yet, changeable anytime.
Live lists for teachers showing which students are approved for each tool.
Records you can export: every family choice with timestamps, the policy version shown, and your approved tool list, ready for your board, a parent or the state.
Weekly AI updates for families, shared through your district.

Board rule R277-334, Classroom Technology and Artificial Intelligence Governance, took effect October 8, 2026. It requires each LEA to adopt an AI use policy based on the Board model, keep an inventory of approved AI tools, and give written parent notification when generative AI is used for classroom instruction, assessment or activities. AI sandbox courses also need written parent consent and voluntary participation. Enacted HB273 separately requires an AI use policy before July 1, 2027.

The rule's effective date is confirmed by the official effective-date notice; the exact board vote date was not retrieved. The rule requires written parent notification for generative AI used in class, and written consent only for optional AI sandbox courses. It is not a universal opt-in requirement for every AI tool.
Virginia Code 22.1-20.2:1 requires education department AI guidance and requires each school board to establish, implement and enforce policies consistent with it. Guidance addresses privacy, human oversight and transparency. A district policy mandate is not the same as parental opt-in.

School AI laws differ in scope. A state guidance duty or district policy requirement is not necessarily a parental consent mandate. Explore all states and official sources.
Whether your state has an AI law, education guidance or a developing policy, Kinsent AI gives you a published approved-tool list, clear explanations for families and the records behind them, so your policy is something families can see and your board can check. Florida's adopted AI rule is an example of an upcoming requirement, not a reason to wait to give families a clear choice.
