Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming a large part of how schools manage safety—from monitoring systems to early-warning alerts. But with new tools come new questions about oversight, privacy, and trust.

In this deep-dive session, district leadership teams will explore how AI can enhance school safety while understanding the challenges it introduces. Participants will discuss ownership and coordination of efforts across departments, identify potential risks, and leave with practical strategies for guiding responsible and transparent AI use in their districts.
