Birmingham City Schools is approaching its inclusion of AI the right way. Thoughtfully. The inclusion of all stakeholders will make the end results that students get to use responsible and aligned with their learning outcomes. They invited Latimer CEO, John Pasmore, to participate in the conversation, and we look forward to continuing the process. Great work Brittni Tucker, MPA and team! And thank you to team Latimer for putting us in these rooms: Elton Sampaio, Erskine "Chuck" Faush, Malur Narayan, Ayanna Howard, Sayan Maity, PhD, Shanti T., Courtney I. Williams, Lee Skold, Munson Steed, and thank you to Miles College and Mya J. for the support.
As Director of IT for Birmingham City Schools, I am honored to lead our district in bringing AI into education in a responsible and student-centered way. The AI Governance Committee meeting was a powerful reminder that it takes all of us—teachers, students, parents, and district employees—to shape policies that truly serve our community. Thank you for showing up and contributing your voices to this important work. A special thank you to John Pasmore (Latimer) and William Glass (Birmingham AI) for your partnership and expertise. With your support, Birmingham City Schools is setting the standard for how AI can enhance learning while protecting equity and student privacy. 💻✨ We are coming. #BCS #AIGovernance #EducationalLeadership #InnovationInEducation
