Generative AI

Generative AI has the potential to transform all aspects of our society, including education and the workforce.  Students who have the knowledge and skills to use Generative AI tools appropriately will be better equipped to lead a life of purpose and impact throughout their educational and professional careers.  This site guides Pueblo School District 60 students, staff, and school communities on the safe, effective, and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI tools, in classroom instruction, school management, and systemwide operations in alignment with district acceptable use policies.

As AI becomes an increasingly visible part of modern education, our district is committed to using it wisely and transparently. We recognize that AI tools rely on data centers that can use significant amounts of energy and water—resources that are especially vital in our region. To honor our commitment to environmental stewardship, D60 is educating students and staff on purposeful, responsible AI use. By teaching simple habits like choosing the right tool for the job and asking clear, efficient questions, we ensure our technology use supports great learning while protecting our local natural resources.

The landscape of AI in education is evolving rapidly, and as new technologies mature, use cases emerge, and the understanding of AI's impact deepens, guidance will need to adapt. This guidance will be reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to meet the District’s needs and complies with changes in laws, regulations, and technology. We welcome feedback on this policy and its effectiveness as AI usage evolves.
