Speaking with Authority: Leading Your District's AI Story Before the Board Asks

When a board member or parent asks "What AI are we using and how do we know it's safe?" you need more than a policy document. You need a clear, confident answer. In this session, Carl Mohn, Director of AI Strategy and Applied Learning at Longview ISD, shares how district leaders can get ahead of scrutiny: how to talk about AI tools in plain language, connect your approach to district goals, and build real trust with boards, families, and community members. You'll leave with a practical talk track and ready-to-use resources, so the next tough question catches you prepared, not off guard.
