Wayzata School Board to Review AI Policy, Open Enrollment Nov. 9

The Wayzata School Board is scheduled to consider a proposed artificial intelligence policy, open enrollment guidelines for 2027–28 and student representation on the board at its regular meeting Monday, Nov. 9.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Creekside, 16000 41st Ave. N., Plymouth, according to the district’s meeting notice.

AI policy gets a first reading

The agenda calls for a first reading of Policy 625 and its accompanying regulations on responsible use of artificial intelligence. This is a review of a proposed policy, rather than a scheduled final approval.

The draft policy would allow staff and students to use district-approved AI tools to support instruction and learning, while emphasizing academic integrity, privacy, equitable access and human accountability. It describes AI as a tool to assist people, rather than make decisions autonomously.

The accompanying proposed regulations call for transparent use and appropriate attribution, safeguards for district data, and guidance on bias and misinformation.

Open enrollment proposal for 2027–28

The board is being asked to approve an open enrollment resolution for the 2027–28 school year. The proposal calls for nonresident enrollment of at least 1% of each K–12 grade level’s class size and would allow the district to accept additional students up to a 2% districtwide cap, subject to building capacity.

The proposed guidelines give priority to children of district staff and siblings of students already open enrolled. They also describe a lottery if those placements do not meet the required grade-level minimum, with additional placements subject to capacity. The resolution is a recommendation awaiting board action.

Student representatives and board policies

An ad hoc committee is scheduled to present student representative models and a proposed approach to selection and expectations. According to the agenda, the committee is seeking board direction to develop an implementation framework for future consideration. A final student representative program is not listed for approval.

The board is also scheduled to consider approval of policies covering board development opportunities and reimbursements, out-of-state travel, and member compensation and reimbursements. The compensation policy in the packet addresses how rates may be set and adjusted; it does not specify a new dollar amount.

Other items and public comment

The agenda includes recognition of National Merit Scholarship semifinalists and esteemed teachers, retiree recognition, a student council report and September financial reports. Consent items include Oct. 12 meeting minutes, donations, payment reports and personnel recommendations.

An audience comment period is also included. The complete Nov. 9 agenda and supporting documents are available through BoardBook. Readers should check the official agenda for updates before attending.

This is an agenda preview based on materials posted before the meeting. Items described as proposed or scheduled have not been reported here as approved.
