NNPS 2026–2027 Rights & Responsibilities Handbook — AI, acceptable use and student privacy

Newport News Public Schools · AI governance and legal referenceDocument date: Date not specified

AI-use reference. Published current 2026–2027 handbook. Official July 1, 2026 organizational-meeting minutes, physical/printed p 2 item 3.01, record approval6–1. Exact separate AI procedure/guidebook effective dates remain unverified. Applies to: All users: NNPS students, educators, school leaders and staff using GenAI within the school community. NNPS users and student GenAI access. Students, teachers and staff under the handbook's all-user GenAI scope. Student use of NNPS computing systems, including software, networks, electronic files and Internet access. NNPS education records and parents/eligible students; relevant when AI workflows would process or disclose those records. Requirements or purpose: GenAI must align with division mission and instruction, comply with student-data privacy law, and never receive PII. Preserve original thought and academic integrity; clearly disclose AI assistance; review and take responsibility for accuracy and appropriateness. Use only division-vetted/approved GenAI, evaluated for instruction, privacy/security, accessibility, equity and age suitability. Preschool–grade 7: embedded GenAI in approved programs, teacher-directed and directly supervised. Grades 8–12: NNPS-approved tools, teacher permission and no parental opt-out on file. A parental opt-out requires an alternative meeting the same learning goals. Assignment permissions distinguish no AI, limited assistance, collaboration and required AI; disclosure/citation and teacher direction follow the assigned level, with alternatives for opted-out students. Existing conduct and IJND-P procedures apply. Repeated/serious misuse can trigger student or staff discipline; inappropriate outputs/concerns must be reported to school administration, technology, AI support or HR; security bypass remains unacceptable. Use for educational purposes; protect account credentials; prohibit unauthorized access, harassment/cyberbullying, unapproved software and filter bypass; follow copyright and licensing rules. Authorized staff may monitor student content for acceptable-use compliance; students must report undesirable material; parents may withdraw permission in writing. Explains inspection, amendment and consent rights and recognized FERPA disclosure exceptions; describes directory-information designations and parental opt-out procedures. Limits: Source cites an NNPS AI Guidebook, whose separate operative copy was not located. Handbook webpage warns the handbook may change without notice. This PDF was downloaded directly and pp 99–101 visually verified; search reader could not parse this current PDF. Version check: the July 1 approved agenda attachment 3748 retains a DRAFT3 cover and is not byte-identical to the live handbook. Both have 112 pages; normalized extracted AI text on physical/printed pp 99–101 matches exactly (6,738 characters).
