AI in schools · For districts in every state

Keeping schools and families aligned on AI

Educating families. Equipping districts.

Closing the distance between the AI tools schools use and the clarity families deserve, with informed consent before a screen turns on.

Kinsent AI is the permission slip platform for any district that wants parents to opt in before students use AI tools. Wherever you are, Kinsent AI helps your district explain each tool to families in plain English and collect their permission, tool by tool. Explore your state's school AI laws, rules and proposals below.

Where it is already required

States where this is already required

Named states, named dates. Where a rule is adopted but not yet in force, or a deadline is not confirmed, we say so and link the record.

Parent notice or consent is in the rule

Families have to be told, and in some cases asked, before a student uses an AI tool.

AI in schools: where your state stands

State laws, education board rules and proposals are not the same. Explore the official sources and what they mean for schools and families.

Weekly state law and policy review

Official sources are scheduled for review every Monday for major changes to school AI laws, rules and policies. Verified updates are published after editorial approval.

Where does your state stand?

State entries separate enacted school AI laws, adopted board rules, pending proposals and guidance, with official sources and check dates.

What the colors mean

  • Enacted school AI law

    An enacted statute addresses AI in schools. Scope and start dates vary; it does not necessarily require parental consent.

  • Adopted board rule

    An adopted education board rule addresses AI in schools. Read the state entry for its scope and effective date.

  • Pending proposal

    A school-related proposal or rule is not confirmed as enacted or effective. It is not a current requirement.

  • Published guidance

    Official education guidance or resources were found. Guidance itself is not a binding district policy mandate.

  • Status not confirmed

    A current school-specific statewide status could not be established from accessible official records. This does not mean no rules exist.

Each state has its own last-checked date. A law about AI is not necessarily a parental consent requirement. Unconfirmed findings do not mean no law exists. This overview is not legal advice.

About Kinsent AI

Why Kinsent AI was founded

Kinsent AI was founded by Dominica Lumazar, an AI governance professional, #1 international bestselling author and creator of Mom Knows AI, and a mother of two. She founded Kinsent AI as classroom AI tools began reaching schools faster than families could learn what they do.

Kinsent AI is built on one deep belief: the parents and guardians who love a student should have a say in the access that student has to AI. Families deserve to understand AI before their students use it, and should have the right to decide whether their student interacts with it, or not. And it should be simple for districts to inform families with just a few clicks, so everyone is on the same page.
