Alexis sits down with Will Goodman, Chief Technology Officer for the Boise School District and a central voice in Idaho’s statewide conversations on AI in K–12 education. Will and Alexis serve together on an AI in K-12 Education Workgroup in Idaho, and in this episode, they dig into the real questions Idaho is navigating right now.

Together they explore:

• With 94% of Idaho students in public schools, what does “getting AI right” actually mean for an entire system?
• How schools can maintain academic integrity while using AI as a learning partner.
• What “Human → AI → Human” looks like in a real classroom?
• How to communicate clearly with parents about what AI is, and isn’t, doing in Idaho classrooms.
• What conversations parents should be having at home?
• How AI fits alongside Digital Literacy and digital citizenship.
• How Idaho’s approach compares to states like Colorado, Utah, and Georgia.
• How we’ll measure success: learning outcomes, efficiency, and equity.
• The cultural challenge of moving from fear to curiosity.
• Safeguarding human dignity and agency in an AI-driven world.
• What responsible AI in Idaho education could look like in 3–5 years.
