What it does
This bill makes schools that get federal money teach students about AI. Schools must test AI tools to make sure they are fair. Teachers stay in charge of big decisions about students. Schools cannot sell student data. The bill gives money for teacher training and new AI career programs.
Who it affects
Students and families get new protections. Their data stays private and schools must tell them when AI is used. Teachers get training in AI ethics and keep control of teaching decisions.
One thing to notice
Schools must tell families about a data breach within 72 hours. Schools cannot sell student data, but can share data that has been deidentified for research. The bill does not define what deidentified means.
