Excited to be in New Orleans for the Southern Education Foundation's Issues Forum. Jiyeon Goo and I will be discussing how school discipline systems are responding to student use of artificial intelligence. Big takeaway: discipline policy hasn't caught up to student use of AI.

Always enjoy a meeting at Alachua County Public Schools district office. My grandmother taught elementary school in the building in the 1940s. Had a chance to visit the historic classroom this time.
