Broward Powered by AI From Vision to System Readiness Division of Academics Dr. Fabian Cone, Chief Academic Officer Manuel Castaneda, Executive Director, Analytics and Intelligence Maria Formoso, Director Career, Technical, Adult and Community Education Dr. Sherri Wilson, Director of Innovative Learning June 16, 2026 School Board Workshop 4

2 Broward County Public Schools is operating in a moment of profound change —where artificial intelligence, immersive technologies, and evolving workforce demands are reshaping how students learn, how educators teach, and how school systems operate. This presentation provides a clear, districtwide framework for how Broward is intentionally and responsibly integrating AI, VR, and XR—not as isolated tools, but as a unified ecosystem grounded in governance, educator capacity, student safety, and measurable outcomes. The rationale is simple: to lead rather than react, to ensure equity of access and quality, and to position Broward as a national model for responsible innovation in public education. • Articulate a coherent district vision for “Broward Powered by AI” that connects teaching, learning, and operations • Explain the intentional selection and distinct roles of Microsoft Copilot and Magic School AI within the district’s AI ecosystem • Demonstrate how professional learning, policy and governance, and implementation structures ensure AI enhances —rather than disrupts— instruction • Establish a shared understanding of how AI, VR, and XR support instructional quality, operational efficiency, and student out comes • Strengthening instructional quality through personalized, data-informed teaching and learning • Building educator capacity with job-embedded, role-based professional learning • Accelerating equity and access by scaling high-quality instruction and experiential learning across schools • Improving operational effectiveness by reclaiming time and resources for instruction • Preparing students for future readiness through ethical AI literacy, critical thinking, and real-world application • Affirm the districtwide vision of Broward Powered by AI as a coherent, governance-driven strategy • Acknowledge and support the implementation of an AI Policy to improve governance, ethical use, and safeguard how students and educators effectively use AI tools • Endorse continued implementation of the professional learning blueprint, AI governance guardrails, and phased rollout strategy • Support transparent communication with educators, families, and the community as this work scales Presentation Rationale: Purpose: Connection to the Strategic Plan: Request to the School Board: INTRODUCTION 5

21 Stakeholder Engagement: Business & Community Partnership Joseph P. Cox President and CEO Museum of Discovery and Science In his time at the Museum of Discovery and Science he has focused on opening doors to the community and ensuring that the Museum welcomes individuals from all walks of life to visit, experience, connect and discover inspiring science. Last year, through community support, the Museum raised over $1.7million to support Broward County Public Schools students, from funding 125 paid high school internships and our Countdown to Kindergarten events to funding bus transportation and field trips from all elementary students in City of Fort Lauderdale schools. The Museum’s “Hub for Resilience Education” initiative aims to strengthen environmental literacy through programs and exhibits. 24

Balanced, Responsible & Human-Centered AI Implementation BCPS recognizes family and public concern regarding student screen time and believes Artificial Intelligence must be implemented responsibly, intentionally, and with clear instructional purpose. Purposeful & Limited Use AI use should be purposeful, limited, age-appropriate, and instructionally justified — not constant or entertainment-driven. Quality Over Quantity The district’s approach emphasizes the quality and educational value of technology use rather than the amount of time students spend on screens. Human-Centered Learning Teachers, relationships, collaboration, discussion, and hands-on learning remain central to the student experience. 22 25

AI as a Tool — Not a Replacement for Teaching & Learning Artificial Intelligence should enhance instruction, improve accessibility, support educator efficiency, and strengthen student outcomes — while preserving the importance of authentic human interaction and non-digital learning experiences. AI SHOULD SUPPORT: • Planning and lesson design • Timely feedback and differentiation • Accessibility and multilingual supports • Data analysis and operational efficiency • Teacher and administrator productivity BCPS ALSO RECOGNIZES: • Some learning experiences are best done without AI or screens at all • Students benefit from discussion, collaboration, reading, writing, and hands-on learning • Technology should complement — not dominate — classroom instruction • Balanced instructional models remain essential The District’s AI implementation approach is grounded in balance, transparency, instructional integrity, human oversight, and responsible innovation. 23 26

24 AI Policy Themes AI Policy Themes Teaching and learning — appropriate educational uses, staff judgment, alignment to instruction. Safety and privacy — student data, confidentiality, approved tools, protection of personal information. Human oversight and accountability — adults remain responsible for decisions, evaluation, and final judgment. Equity and access — ensuring students and schools are not left behind and that supports are available for all learners. Healthy and balanced use — thoughtful limits, age- appropriate use, screen- time considerations, and emphasizing when AI should not be used 27

25 AI Can Support — But Not Replace — Higher-Order Thinking 28

Policy and Process Considerations At A Glance Policy Focus Urgency - Impact on District Operations Summary of Revisions Artificial Intelligence: Responsible, Ethical, and Educational Use Establishing governance guardrails now allows BCPS to proactively lead responsible AI implementation while protecting students, staff, privacy, and instructional integrity. The proposed AI Policy establishes districtwide expectations for responsible AI use, governance, privacy protections, instructional integrity, and human oversight. Key Policy Components Recommendation Decision Rationale Human-Centered Decision Making Included AI supports — but does not replace — professional judgment or educator expertise. Student Benefit & Instructional Integrity Included AI must improve teaching, learning, accessibility, and operational effectiveness. Safety, Privacy & Cybersecurity Included Protects personally identifiable information and cybersecurity standards. Equity, Accessibility & Bias Mitigation Included AI implementation must reduce opportunity gaps and be reviewed for bias and accessibility. 26 29

The Need to Act NOW – BCPS Call to Action Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping how students learn, how educators teach, and how organizations operate. The question is no longer whether AI will impact public education — but whether school systems will lead responsibly, ethically, and proactively. Protect Students & Staff Establishes district guardrails for privacy, cybersecurity, safety, and responsible use. Provide Clear Governance Creates consistent expectations, approval pathways, oversight, and accountability structures. Support Innovation Responsibly Allows BCPS to innovate while maintaining human oversight and instructional integrity. Prepare Students for the Future Builds AI literacy, workforce readiness, critical thinking, and ethical digital citizenship. The BCPS AI Policy establishes the governance framework necessary to ensure Artificial Intelligence enhances — rather than disrupts — teaching, learning, equity, trust, and operational excellence. 28 31
