SECAC reviewed FCPS’s proposed artificial intelligence policy and submitted a letter to the Board and Policy Committee recommending that the policy explicitly address the needs of students with disabilities, including accessibility, assistive technology, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
SECAC Recommendations for FCPS Policy 124, Artificial Intelligence
FCPS Policy 124
FCPS is developing an AI Policy to align with MSDE standards for the responsible use of artificial intelligence in K–12 education. The guidance will help ensure AI is used safely, responsibly, equitably, and effectively while providing a framework for local policies, decision-making, and evaluation of AI tools.
State Legislation & MSDE
SB 720 / Chapter 634 (Artificial Intelligence Ready Schools Act) became law in 2026 and requires MSDE to provide statewide AI guidance, develop guidelines/best practices and evaluation tools, and maintain an online platform for the guidance.
