Protect Teacher Authority and Human Judgment in Student Evaluation!

The District of Columbia has introduced a comprehensive policy framework explicitly banning AI from grading, disciplinary decisions, and teacher evaluations. For common-sense school board members, maintaining human accountability in educational decisions is paramount to fairness and integrity. Automated systems cannot replace the nuanced judgment of professional educators and local administrators when assessing student performance or staff effectiveness. Board policies must clearly define red lines that preserve teacher-led instruction and personal responsibility in district governance. Protecting human oversight ensures local schools remain accountable to parents, students, and community taxpayers.
