## Prompt

```text
Help me write rules for how students may use AI tools.

**Scope:** [one course / a department / whole school or college]
**Level and subject:** [e.g. "9th grade English", "graduate statistics"]
**Learning goals that AI could undermine or support:** [DETAILS]
**Tools students have:** [e.g. district-approved tools, none, anything online]
**Age considerations:** [e.g. students under 13 or under 18, parental consent rules]
**Current academic integrity policy:** [SUMMARY or PASTE]

Build:
1. A short policy statement in plain language explaining why the rules exist, tied to what students are meant to learn.
2. A traffic-light scale for assignments: no AI, AI for specific tasks (brainstorming, feedback, checking grammar), or AI fully allowed, with an example assignment at each level.
3. Disclosure rules: what students must say about AI use and a simple citation or statement format.
4. What counts as misuse and how suspected cases will be handled, including why AI detectors alone are not proof and how to have a conversation with the student about their work and process.
5. Privacy rules: no personal information in tools, and only tools that meet district or institutional data agreements (student data privacy laws such as COPPA and FERPA).
6. Equity: how to handle students without access at home.
7. A version for students and a version for families, each under 250 words.

Mark anything that needs administrator or legal sign-off with [CONFIRM].
