Temple Independent School District is embarking on a multi-year plan to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its classrooms, starting with a cohort of teachers who will use AI for the 2024-2025 school year.

According to Superintendent Dr. Bobby Ott, embracing AI is inevitable, and the district is taking a slow and deliberate approach to ensure that values and core academics are not compromised.
