Level of Use Description Student/Staff Requirement Citation Level 1: No AI The assignment reWlects the student’s unaided thinking (e.g., assessments, baseline tasks). The teacher must clearly communicate that no AI use is allowed. Students must not use AI tools for this task. NNPS AI Guide book Level 2: AI Assisted Students may use AI tools to brainstorm, revise, or explore, but must rewrite the work in their own words. The Winal product is mostly the student’s thinking. Students must disclose their use of AI (e.g., "I used AI to brainstorm ideas"). NNPS AI Guide book Level 3: AI as a Partner Students collaborate with AI to generate or reWine ideas, visuals, or structure. They review and adjust the output to ensure it reWlects their own voice and understanding. Students must provide a disclosure or citation explaining how the AI tool helped (e.g., "I organized my ideas using Google Gemini"). NNPS AI Guide book Level 4: AI- Essential AI is a required tool to complete the assignment, with the student making key decisions and edits under teacher direction. Students must use the required AI tool under teacher direction. An alternative assignment must be offered if a parental opt-out is on Wile. NNPS AI Guide book Failure to disclose the use of GenAI when required may be considered a violation of academic integrity. 6. Violations and Penalties The general rules and expectations for professional behavior and student conduct set forth in the NNPS Rights & Responsibilities Handbook and the existing Technology Acceptable Use Procedure (IJND-P) apply fully to the use of GenAI. • Student Misuse: If a student misuses an AI tool, steps may include a conversation with the student, reteaching expectations, providing a chance to revise the work, or completing an alternate assignment. Serious or repeated violations involving inappropriate, harmful, or dishonest use will be addressed according to the NNPS Code of Student Conduct. • Staff Misuse: Staff are expected to model transparency and use only approved tools. Staff who violate policies will receive support, and if needed, coaching or redirection. Serious or repeated violations will be addressed according to district disciplinary or HR procedures. • Security Violations: Reporting any inappropriate outputs or concerns to a school administrator, technology support, the AI Support Team, or HR is required. Attempts to bypass security controls to access unauthorized web sites or computer systems remains an unacceptable use. 101
