In Franklin Township, AI isn’t a buzzword — it’s a tool that staff is carefully rolling out to support both students and staff. Director of Technology Integration Nadine Gilkison will share how her district is taking an intentional, phased approach to integrating AI into classrooms and operations. By starting small, building staff confidence, and focusing on real student needs, AI is being used to personalize learning, strengthen MTSS and IEP processes, and give leaders timely data to guide staffing and resources. Through thoughtful planning, ongoing professional learning, and a focus on sustainability, Franklin Township is creating a responsible AI framework that serves students today while preparing for tomorrow. Attendees will leave with real examples and leadership strategies they can adapt to their own districts.
