Since May 2026 the Council has made public records requests to five school districts, including the three largest in the United States, and to the Florida Department of Education. It has filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission in WC Docket No. 26-133 and with the Florida State Board of Education on Rule 6A-1.0957. The records it has obtained, the requests it has made, and the comments it has filed are published here.
The Council takes no position on whether generative AI systems should be used in schools. It describes, from records produced by districts, from their published policies and Board materials, and from vendors' own documentation, what those systems do when a student uses one on a district device or account, and which party, if any, each function has been assigned to.
When a school makes a generative AI system reachable, it authorizes the system for an educational purpose. The system accepts whatever the student types, and what it can do in reply is not limited to that purpose.
The records are used to answer what follows from that: who, if anyone, holds the boundary between the authorized use and the rest of what the system can do; whether the school can reconstruct what a student and the system said to each other; whether any party reviews use against the purpose for which the system was approved; who is responsible for the system's reply; and what each of those functions has been assigned to, by contract, configuration, or policy.
In the records obtained so far, the only instrument that holds the boundary is the acceptable-use policy addressed to the student. A student's statement of risk to such a system is the case in which the records are most complete, and the Council has used it as the worked example; the same questions apply to every exchange.
