Free, editable resources for K-12 AI governance, classroom policy, student privacy, vendor evaluation, academic integrity, AI pilots, family communication, and responsible implementation.
HonorlyAI is a teacher-controlled, district-governed K-12 classroom AI platform. This public toolkit gives school leaders, technology teams, educators, families, and students practical starting points for evaluating and governing artificial intelligence in schools.
Direct answer: This repository helps a school district move from vague AI principles to reviewable rules, checklists, pilot plans, family notices, classroom expectations, and evidence-based decisions. Every resource is editable and designed to be adapted through local legal, privacy, curriculum, technology, accessibility, and community review.

A useful school AI policy should make the following questions boringly clear:
- Purpose: What educational problem is the tool meant to address?
- Authority: Who approves tools, settings, use cases, and changes?
- Classroom boundaries: What kinds of AI help are allowed for each assignment?
- Human oversight: When must a teacher, administrator, counselor, or technology lead intervene?
- Student data: What is collected, why, who can access it, how long it is kept, and how it is deleted?
- Academic integrity: What must students disclose, preserve, and explain?
- Equity and accessibility: Who may be excluded or harmed by the workflow, and what alternatives exist?
- Evidence: What would justify expanding, changing, or stopping the implementation?
- Incident response: What happens when the system behaves unexpectedly or a policy is violated?
- Communication: What do teachers, students, and families need to know before use begins?
HonorlyAI organizes classroom AI around three principles:
- Teacher-controlled: educators set learning context, define acceptable assistance, review relevant activity, and intervene when human judgment matters.
- District-governed: school systems manage approved use, identity, privacy review, access, rollout, and accountability.
- Learning-first: AI support should favor explanations, questions, examples, practice, and feedback rather than silently replacing student thinking.
HonorlyAI LLC builds a K-12 classroom AI platform that gives students guided academic support while giving teachers and districts visibility, controls, and a practical path to responsible adoption.
