Study: Teacher Authorization Dominates U.S. K–12 District AI Policies as Nearly 30% Still Restrict or Ban Use

A study of 122 U.S. districts and schools across 38 states found that 44.3% are at the 'conditional/teacher-directed' level, allowing AI only with explicit teacher authorization. Another 27.9% use 'guided integration,' 17.2% are restrictive, 7.4% explicitly prohibit AI, and just 3.3% actively encourage it. Nearly 30% still restrict or ban AI, and policies focus mainly on student behavior, with too little attention to staff use, procurement, and equity.
