Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT are transforming school operations, helping district leaders streamline tasks and engage communities. Andrew Adams, executive director of business services for the Eden Prairie school district in Minnesota, used ChatGPT to navigate funding documentation, though he highlighted the importance of human oversight after identifying errors in AI-generated suggestions. Despite the challenges, Adams advocates for embracing AI, having launched an “AI for Dummies” class for the Minnesota Association of School Business Officials to encourage experimentation and learning. Similarly, Madeline Negrón, superintendent of New Haven schools in Connecticut, used the AI-driven tool ThoughtExchange to gather extensive community feedback for a five-year strategic plan. The tool’s ability to translate queries into 76 languages and analyze demographic-specific data enabled unprecedented outreach in the district of 19,000 students. Negrón plans to use AI for future projects, including crafting a "portrait of a graduate" to define key student skills. A recent EdWeek Research Center survey found strong support for AI among K-12 administrators, with 70% endorsing its use for tracking and analyzing community feedback.

California
The “Knocking at the College Door” report from the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education forecasts a significant increase in high school graduates in California and nationwide, peaking in 2025. Demarée K. Michelau, the organization’s president, noted: “After years of growth, higher education in the United States now faces a decline in the size of the traditional college-going population.” Following this peak, the number of graduates is expected to decline steadily until 2041, influenced by factors such as declining birth rates and longer K-12 completion times. Notably, multiracial students in California are projected to increase by 224%, while other racial and ethnic groups will see declines. The report also suggests that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on graduation rates may be less severe than previously thought, with only a 1% decrease anticipated. Patrick Lane, a co-author of the report, emphasized the potential economic implications of these trends, particularly concerning workforce shortages.

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, concerns are rising among educators about potential immigration enforcement in schools. Reports indicate that Trump plans to rescind a policy that has historically protected schools from ICE raids. According to NBC News, this change could occur on his first day in office, raising fears for the 5.5m children living with unauthorized immigrant parents. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas emphasized the importance of not disrupting access to essential services, stating: “To the fullest extent possible, we should not take an enforcement action in or near a location that would restrain people's access to essential services.” Legal experts warn that immigration enforcement in schools could violate constitutional rights established in the 1982 Plyler v. Doe decision. As uncertainty looms, educators are urged to remind families of their rights and prepare for potential changes in immigration policy.
