During the 2024–2025 school year, both documents were finalized and distributed across the province. In fall 2025, the working group was renewed, expanding to over 130 members representing a wide range of educational roles throughout Ontario. A dedicated sub-group of drafters and reviewers was tasked with creating the Artificial Intelligence Accountability Framework document, which was subsequently reviewed by the full working group and submitted to ECNO and OASBO for final approval.

This document is intended as a starting point for Ontario School Boards, and it is intended to be copied, reviewed, and modified for your board’s specific and unique circumstances.

Generative AI continues to develop rapidly, and thus these documents must be read in the context of our collective understanding at the point in time of publication.  The ‘live’ version of this document is stored on the ECNO Microsoft tenant and is available to school boards.

OASBO Generative AI Resources and Guidelines

The OASBO Joint Collaborative Committee held an initial discussion about Generative AI tools in June 2023 and formed a working group to examine the issues related to the use of Generative AI tools.

Subsequently, two work streams were formed: one to address “Guidelines for Responsible Use of Generative AI” and a second to review “Generative AI Resources”.

Generative AI continues to develop rapidly, and thus these documents must be read in the context of our collective understanding at the point in time of (PDF) publication. The ‘live’ versions of these documents are stored in Google Drive and are available to school boards for comments.
