Session Description: Districts often struggle to build trust with community stakeholders that their input has been captured, accurately represented, and equitably reflected in decision making. Atlanta Public Schools will share how it explored the use of artificial intelligence to support large scale community feedback, including data sources, validation strategies, and efficiency gains. Participants interested in engagement, data, and equity are invited to join a closing discussion on persistent challenges, including how to better surface and amplify voices that have been historically underrepresented.
