The Moreland School District superintendent reported on community budget outreach and school programs and described a two‑year partnership with Stanford University's Center to Support Excellence in Teaching to set guidelines for classroom use of artificial intelligence.
During the superintendent’s report, district staff said they have begun budget roadshows at school sites to explain how the governor’s proposed budget would affect Moreland and to solicit community feedback. The district also highlighted Black History Month activities — including an art and poetry expo at Moreland Middle School — and literacy training led by outside staff developers.
Speaker 6 told the board that 186 student musicians recently performed alongside Prospect High School ensembles and thanked staff who supported the opportunity. The superintendent's report also said the Moreland Education Foundation (MEF) will award 10 spring enrichment grants totaling $7,500 and that a district 5K fundraiser is planned for March 28, with early‑bird registration available through Feb. 28 at mefhome.org.
On district contracting, Speaker 6 described a phased, two‑year contract with Stanford University's CSET. Under Phase 1, CSET will facilitate a 25–30 member task force of staff and families, conduct student focus groups to develop guiding principles for AI in K–12 classrooms, and then design and lead professional development for district administrators and teachers. Speaker 6 said the district plans a train‑the‑trainer model so teacher leaders can implement the training in their schools.
District members asked whether the professional development would need revision based on the task force’s recommendations; Speaker 6 said the contract is intended to be comprehensive and encompass both the task force work and subsequent professional development.
The superintendent concluded the report after announcing outreach and program highlights and the board moved to subsequent agenda items.
