Pillar 01
Current
Vision for AI
What we believe about AI and student learning. The frame that shapes every decision downstream.
Equity · Excellence · Future-Ready Learning
Policies and Protections
The Task Force is working four pillars — vision, student usage, staff usage, and enterprise software selection. Each has a working policy document, published here for the community to read.
The four pillars
Pillar 02
Current
Student Usage Policy
When and how students use AI in our classrooms. How we protect their work, their data, and their learning. A parent-facing video guide is also available.
Pillar 03
Current
Staff Usage Policy
How teachers, leaders, and staff use AI in their work. What we expect, what we encourage, what we don't allow.
Pillar 04
In progress

Aligned to the Louisiana AI framework for K–12
Louisiana was among the earliest states to publish official AI guidance for schools. FirstLine's Vision, Student Usage, and Staff Usage policies are designed to align with the LDOE's competency framework and responsible-use guidance — while going further where our students and educators benefit from it.
