Gutiérrez asks if March guidance will be discarded
Gutiérrez asks whether the original March AI guidance could be tossed after the playbook process. Junta says DOE stands by the March guidance but acknowledges the need to build more detail and specificity. Gutiérrez expresses frustration with the fragmented implementation approach.
If you could answer this in your continued answering is what is the role that the playbook is going to play that the guidance that you all put out did not
where we hoped i think the original intent and this was you know uh back to the original plan dr pate if you want to jump in on the original intent of the playbook was to take this feedback and make it very much like answering
um to like the questions that were coming in and feedback and realignment but i think we need to go further than what the playbook's intent was going to be and kind of go back to the guidance and ensure that we're doing that engagement
that you're talking about.
This is a core value of Chancellor Samuels, of our mayor, of this administration.
We believe that we do need to reset using the feedback and also the whole conversation around AI and has shifted nationally since our guidance went out.
I'm not saying it was our guidance, but it is important for us to take all of that in so that when we get to a vision for the role that technology, screens, and AI, because they're all intersecting but different, that we're able to offer you that.
And I can share with you now.
That is the current process that we are engaging in as a team.
Okay, can I just ask one last question?
Did you want...
I think it's a yes or no answer, actually.
Yeah.
Is there a world where after this playbook is done, the AI original guidance that you release in March is tossed, is garbage?
I don't think so.
I think we stand by our March no.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks, Chair.
Thank you, Councilmember Gutierrez.
While I can appreciate you're not moving fast into a playbook, you want to be thoughtful.
I think the evaluative tools and the feedback from parents, students, educators are important.
These tools are in the classroom.
Yep.
So it is, it's astounding that both of those things are true at the same time, that we've already released these tools into the classroom without the playbook, without the guidance for the students and the teachers that are really required
before engaging with these types of tools.
I will now recognize Councilmember Joseph, followed by Maloney.
