For districts

What the law requires

  • Students use AI only under a teacher's direction.
  • AI cannot be the main basis for grading, discipline or promotion.
  • At least once a year, tell families in writing which AI tools you use and which companies make them. Explain what student data they collect, how far it is shared and why each tool is used.
  • Parents and guardians can opt their student out of student-facing AI tools at any time, in writing. Students cannot be penalized and must still get their core instruction.
  • Your school board adopts a written AI policy before the 2027-28 school year.

The Oklahoma State Department of Education has published guidance and a model policy. The model suggests telling families within 30 days when you add a new data-collecting AI tool during the year. This is model policy guidance, not a separate statutory deadline.

Your checklist

  1. List every AI tool, its company, the data it collects and why you use it.
  2. Send your yearly notice to families.
  3. Set up a simple way for parents to opt out, and make sure every teacher knows.
  4. Plan a non-AI path for opted-out students.
  5. Draft your AI policy and take it to your board before the 2027-28 school year.
  6. Update families when you add a tool.

For parents

What this means for your family

  • Every year, your school must tell you which AI tools it uses and what information they collect about students.
  • You can opt your student out of student-facing AI tools at any time by telling the school in writing.
  • If you opt out, your student cannot be penalized and still gets the same core lessons.

Questions to ask your school

  • Which AI tools does my student use?
  • What data do they collect, and who sees it?
  • How do I opt out?
  • What does my student do instead?
