Artificial Intelligence Guidance
Maricopa Unified School District is dedicated to maintaining the academic integrity of all student work while preparing for post secondary experiences. We aim to help stakeholders understand what artificial intelligence (AI) is and how it can enhance learning. MUSD guidelines for utilizing AI will be reviewed and updated as needed to ensure safe, ethical, and responsible use.
Governing Board Policy Form 3.403A outlines technology acceptable use for our students.
Student Use of AI
Maricopa Unified School District is dedicated to maintaining the academic integrity of all student work. Plagiarism and misuse of artificial intelligence is considered a breach of academic trust. Authorship of words and ideas generated by artificial intelligence must be sited accordingly. Students enrolled in AP or dual enrollment courses must abide by all guidelines put forth by the College Board and/or academic institution(s).
