Dear Eagle Community,
Recently, on August 18, 2026, the Dover Area School District board of school directors approved Policy 815.1. The purpose of this policy, “Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education” is to govern the resources and practices expected within our classrooms. To help families and parents navigate the AI landscape while learning more about how the District expects it to be used, we are launching a three part parent information series.
