Family communication assistant
A fictional district is considering whether staff may use a generative AI tool to draft routine family messages.
Proposed boundary
Staff may use a tool for this purpose only after district approval and only when no student, personnel, medical, or other private information is entered. A staff member reviews and owns every message before it is sent.
People affected
Families, teachers, building leaders, multilingual families, technology staff, and the district privacy lead.
Review-owner role
The district privacy lead reviews the tool and data path. The building leader owns local implementation. The sender owns the final message.
Missing evidence
- Approved tool and contract terms
- Retention and model-training settings
- Translation review expectations
- Accessibility checks
Smallest useful next check
Test three fictional, non-sensitive messages with the proposed review process. Record where reviewers disagree and what extra guidance they need.
Changed condition to test
What changes if the message concerns a real student absence, behavior issue, or accommodation?
