Charleston County School District in South Carolina is implementing Phase 2 of its generative AI plan for 2026-27, combining educator training with initial classroom implementation. Developed in partnership with AI for Education and adopted in January 2026, the framework emphasises recognising AI errors, protecting student privacy, and maintaining teacher discretion. The policy explicitly prohibits AI from serving as the sole basis for high-stakes student decisions. Outcome data is not yet available, and the rollout remains locally scoped.
