I can't believe that parents and students aren't up in arms about VOLT AI. If I were a kid I would be organizing student walkouts.

Yes, it's expensive, but I would prefer metal detectors like Jackson-Reed has.

It is appalling. They have no f idea what they are doing, do they? And there is no recording of what they told families? Wtf?

The meeting wasn’t recorded, but here are answers to some of the questions that have come up. This was shared on the BCC listserv.

Not really. It was clear that MCPS lacks familiarity with AI based systems and has not been able to address questions or concerns about privacy.

THAT is F concerning

Not district just Taylor at his kids school from a company a block from his kids school. Nothing to see here.

Taylor does not have high school aged kids, what are you talking about? Do you mean his former HS?

DP. But his kids will eventually be in high school if they aren't already, won't they? Did families community give input?

Taylor lives in BCC HS catchment.

So what if he lives there. Are his own kids actually the guinea pigs in this no-one-can-actually-explain-it-AI thing they decided to pilot without any community input??
