Introducing Polly C.

Pink Poppy Flowers

Build your district’s AI governance infrastructure with a 24/7 AI policy navigator.

 

From position statements to procurement protocols, navigate the SAFE Framework with confidence.

Polly C. was created to give superintendents, school boards, CIOs, and CTOs a trusted, AI-powered assistant for navigating K-12 AI governance. Instead of starting from scratch, Polly C. connects you to vetted, evidence-based artifacts grounded in the SAFE Framework and the Policy Stack.

Disclaimer:

Polly C. is currently in a beta testing phase. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy and relevance, please treat all outputs as guidance and information rather than final legal, technical, or purchasing advice.

​

Always verify critical information with original source materials and consult legal or security professionals as needed.

Who is Polly C. For:

  • Board Members: Focus on visionary governance, position statements, and ethical North Stars – the foundational values and non-negotiable principles that guide all district-wide AI adoption and behavior.

​

  • Superintendents: Focus on strategic implementation, district-wide adoption, and change management

​

  • CIOs, CTOs, & District Leadership: Focus on risk-aversion, procurement, personally identifiable information (PII), and operationalizing the Policy Stack

​

  • Anyone looking to navigate the rapidly evolving AI governance landscape in education

How Polly C. Works:

Polly C. is built on a custom, rigorously vetted knowledge base (a closed corpus of materials) to ensure domain relevance and accuracy.

​

Users can pick 1 of 7 workflows modeled on the Policy Stack:
 

  • Workflow 1: Board AI Policy & Position Statement: Draft your district's foundational North Star by anchoring baseline board policy drafts in a confirmed position statement.

  • Workflow 2: Acceptable Use & Academic Integrity Policy: Alter policy language and formulate guidelines for student and staff behavior, honesty, and the ethical use of AI tools.

  • Workflow 3: Staff & Student Manuals: Operationalize high-level policies into practical, daily guidance for your school community.

  • Workflow 4: Stakeholder Engagement Strategy: Design a draft plan for community co-creation, including town hall agendas, surveys, advisory frameworks, and more.

  • Workflow 5: Complaint Procedures: Outline formal mechanisms and response workflows for reporting and resolving AI-related harms.

  • Workflow 6: Procurement & Vendor Vetting: Standardize how your district evaluates EdTech tools through vendor questionnaires and risk-assessment protocols.

  • Workflow 7: Course Coach: Access office hours for immediate guidance on any modules in the Policy Essentials: Building the SAFE Infrastructure for AI in Education course.

What’s in Polly C.’s Knowledge Base?

Our knowledge base is carefully curated to include:

​

  • EDSAFE resources, including major releases 

​

  • Select public domain and CC-licensed materials from trusted organizations

​

  • Model policy artifacts from the EDSAFE AI Policy Labs 

​

  • Explicitly licensed proprietary materials, with written consent for use from organizations

​

Every effort is made to indicate when information comes from EDSAFE’s resource library or an outside source, which will include the source organization and year it was produced.
