District AI Policy Tracker for Schools
School districts are moving quickly from "block ChatGPT" to more detailed AI policies covering academic integrity, approved tools, student privacy, parent consent, teacher oversight, and prohibited high-impact uses.
This free tracker currently includes 74 source-backed entries across 21 states. It separates adopted guidance from drafts, pilots, academic-integrity rules, access bans, AI tutoring, AI safety monitoring, and operational deployments so schools and vendors can see where district expectations are heading.
It is not legal advice and should be verified against official district documents before procurement or compliance decisions.

- Whether the district has adopted, proposed, piloted, or not yet published AI guidance.
- Rules for student use, teacher approval, parent consent, and academic integrity.
- Approved-tool requirements such as privacy agreements or data-sharing agreements.
- Human-review requirements for grading, discipline, special education, and other sensitive decisions.
- Reported AI deployments that raise privacy, security, procurement, or transparency lessons.

Patterns for AI Vendors
The clearest pattern is not that districts are rejecting AI. It is that they increasingly want approved tools, documented data handling, teacher control, and human review for consequential decisions.
- Teacher oversight matters: Districts are uncomfortable with AI replacing professional judgment in grading, discipline, special education, and personnel decisions.
- Privacy agreements matter: Approved AI tools increasingly need vendor review, data-sharing agreements, or equivalent privacy assurances.
- Disclosure matters: Students and teachers need clear expectations for when AI use must be cited or disclosed.
- Grade-level rules matter: Several districts distinguish elementary, middle, and high school use rather than writing one rule for all students.
How Graider Aligns
Graider is built around teacher review, not autonomous final grading. Typed student work is de-identified before AI processing, and AI-generated grades and feedback are designed to be reviewed, adjusted, and approved by the teacher before release or export.
That maps directly to the direction many district policies are moving: AI can assist, but human educators remain accountable for instructional judgment and student outcomes.
