Methodology
How the snapshot is coded
- Ranking treats New York City Public Schools as one system (#1) and includes Hawaiʻi DOE as the statewide LEA. Charter networks are excluded unless they appear on standard largest-LEA lists.
- “Public AI policy” means a dedicated GenAI / AI guidance page, guidebook, or board policy — not a generic AUP with no AI language.
- Weak evidence usually means no page found, not a proven ban. Florida districts without local policy still face statewide AI rules for 2027–28.
- This page is research reference, not legal advice. Cells refresh from primary sources; check the linked policy before relying on a value.
