“We’re voting on an AI tool.”
An AI tool is on your board agenda
Some boards now approve AI tools only with a policy, training or an annual review attached. The vote goes better when the board has a clear read on the data, the classroom fit and the conditions of use.
Sound familiar?
- A vendor contract or pilot is coming to the board
- A product you already license has switched on AI features
- Parents or staff have raised concerns about a tool
What we recommend
A Tool Review gives your board a one-page memo, conditions of use and an annual check date, in 2 to 3 weeks.
Banyan helps districts write and run AI policy. We don't give legal advice. Policy Sprints start only after an education law firm has reviewed our policy templates, and we recommend your board counsel review any policy before adoption.
Tool Review
$4,500 per tool
2 to 3 weeks
A review before your board votes on an AI tool.
Districts with an AI tool on a board agenda, a vendor that switched on AI features, or a pilot that needs a decision.
What your district gets
- A data and privacy check against your AI policy and student data privacy agreements
- A classroom-fit review: does the tool support the thinking students need to do, or do it for them?
- Conditions of use: who, for what, with which settings, after which training
- A one-page board memo for the board packet
- An annual check date, so the decision gets reviewed
Funding: Technology budgets or Title IV-A may fit. Under the $15,000 federal micro-purchase threshold.
Also worth a look
Policy Sprint
$8,500
6 weeks
A board-ready AI policy in 6 weeks.
Districts with no adopted AI policy, or guidance that never went to the board.
What your district gets
- A board-ready AI policy, aligned to your state model policy or law where one exists
- Staff and student use rules: what is allowed, what needs approval, what is off limits
- A parent letter explaining the policy in plain language
- A board briefing: short slide deck and one-page summary
- One staff session (60 to 90 minutes) on the policy and use rules
Funding: Title II-A or Title IV-A may fit. Under the $15,000 federal micro-purchase threshold.
