TENETWho would know?
At the Gateway AI in EDU Summit I made one argument: a policy without enforcement is a suggestion. This session is the other half: how Tenet closes that gap with governance at the point of use, inside the AI conversation, on the device, in real time, for students and staff. If we met at the conference or you missed the talk entirely, you're exactly who this is for. We open with the whole argument in five minutes.
On July 14, Anthropic opened Claude to every verified U.S. K‑12 teacher at no cost. ChatGPT for Teachers is free through 2028. Your staff will have professional AI accounts before they have guidance on how to use them, and those accounts are being accepted under individual vendor terms your district has never reviewed.
What we'll cover
The argument in five minutes
Two arenas, students in the classroom and staff in the back office, and the three ways written policy fails: invisible use, use you can see but cannot stop, and enforcement carried entirely by your people. The recap, so nobody needs to have seen the talk.
Point-of-use governance, live
Inside a real AI conversation: Tenet sees the prompt on the device and applies your policy in the moment it's sent. Not a filter guessing from a URL, not a report arriving three weeks late.
The staff arena: record-level data
Names and personal data redacted on the device before anything reaches an AI vendor, typed or uploaded. The failure most policies never mention, closed at the source.
Your handbook, enforced
District, classroom, and staff rules written in plain English and applied live across every major AI tool. The policy binder becomes something that acts.
"Who would know?" answered
Safety signals like self-harm and bullying surfaced as they appear, and the visibility a district actually needs without surveilling students. Then: what a no-cost fall pilot looks like.
Who this is for
- Superintendents and assistant superintendents
- Technology directors and CIOs
- Curriculum and instruction leaders
- Anyone who has been handed "figure out our AI policy" before September
- And if we met at the conference, this is the session I told you about
What you leave with
A clear picture of what governance at the point of use looks like in your district, adaptable parent letter templates for elementary and secondary, and the session recording. Useful whether or not you ever talk to us again.
Tenet builds AI governance for K‑12 schools that works at the point of use: inside the conversation, on the device, for students and staff. Caleb presented "AI Governance Is Not a Policy Document" at the AI in EDU Summit at Gateway Regional High School.
Your teachers already have free AI accounts. Your policy is still a document.
