New ETHS guidelines to allow AI use in class under teachers' discretion

Evanston Township High School (ETHS) in Illinois has updated its guidelines for the 2026-27 school year, permitting students to use artificial intelligence for coursework if authorized by their teacher and accompanied by a disclosure statement. Unauthorized or undisclosed AI usage will be treated as plagiarism or academic dishonesty. This policy change aligns with a new statewide directive on AI use in K-12 schools.
