AI in Education Requirements
With the passage of House Bill 96, Ohio law requires the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to develop a model policy on the use of artificial intelligence in schools no later than Dec. 31, 2025. The model policy shall address appropriate use of artificial intelligence by students and staff for educational purposes.
In addition, state law now requires each school district, community school, and STEM school to adopt a policy on the use of artificial intelligence no later than July 1, 2026. Under this provision, the district or school may adopt the Department's model policy.
More information is forthcoming regarding the Department’s artificial intelligence model policy.
AI in Education Resources
AI is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, prompting a reevaluation of the skills and knowledge students will require for success. As AI continues to evolve, it will affect a diverse range of jobs, encompassing both those that demand advanced expertise and those involving routine tasks. At the forefront of innovation, InnovateOhio, in partnership with The AI Education Project (aiEDU) announced the launch of an AI Toolkit for Ohio’s K-12 school districts. Released in February 2024, the AI Toolkit continues to serve as a resource for Ohio's education community.
Subsequently, in May 2024, Ohio’s AI in Education Coalition developed a comprehensive strategy to ensure Ohio's K-12 education system is prepared for and can help lead the AI revolution. The Coalition's Strategy Report identifies key themes illustrating how AI is transforming the educational landscape and workplace, and includes recommendations for schools, institutions of higher education, and the State of Ohio.
More information on these recommendations and related resources will be added to this page as it becomes available.
