Navigating AI in Schools: A Regional Think Tank for Policy/Guidance

6/18/2026 - 9:00am - 12:00pm

Location: Lexington Campus

2331 Fortune Dr. Lexington KY 40509

Target Audience: School Leaders, District Leaders, New Teacher Mentors, Instructional Coaches (anyone who supports new teachers)

Description: AI is moving fast — and so are the questions from teachers, parents, and students. Many districts are still figuring out where to start when it comes to policy and/or guidance. This regional think tank brings together school, district, and teacher leaders from across the region to have the conversations that matter most: What do we currently have in place? What are others doing? And what would actually work for our community?

Over these three hours, participants will share existing AI policies and guidance from their own districts, learn from the experiences of peers facing the same challenges, and spend the majority of the session collaborating to prototype practical frameworks that can be adapted and taken back home. This isn't a lecture or a panel — it's a working session designed for the people closest to the problem to build solutions together.
