Artificial Intelligence

The Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) is excited to continue our journey into educational Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the next phase of our AI Pilot Program. Following a successful launch last year using MagicSchool AI and Brisk, we are expanding and refining our efforts to support instruction, learning, and innovation in the classroom.

This Year's Focus: Brisk, Google Gemini & Notebook LM

For the 2025-26 school year, BRISK will continue to serve as our primary AI platform. Based on overwhelmingly positive feedback from staff and the meaningful instructional gains observed during the pilot, we are deepening our support and training around BRISK to help streamline planning, differentiation, and formative assessment.

We are also excited to explore Google’s latest AI tools:

Gemini is in Google Workspace and Google Classroom, which are now embedded for teachers and are being explored for future student use.
Notebook LM is a powerful AI-supported tool for synthesizing research and classroom resources.

Together, these tools align with our district’s commitment to:

Support personalized and authentic learning experiences.
Enhance teacher efficiency and creativity.
Improve access and equity through thoughtful technology integration.

Student Use and student Safety

Responsible Use & Student Safety:

All AI tools used in the pilot and ongoing use, including BRISK and Google Gemini, are reviewed for compliance with FERPA and COPPA regulations. Student safety, data privacy, and teacher oversight remain top priorities.

Families are encouraged to talk with their students about AI use and review the following guidelines:

Board Policy Alignment:

This work is grounded in updates adopted by the RUSD Board of Trustees to ensure safe, ethical, and meaningful AI use in schools. These Board Policies include:

Training and Resources

Before students use AI tools, they will receive lessons on responsible and ethical use, how AI works, and its limitations. Teachers will guide usage in developmentally appropriate, structured environments.
