A new district policy just changed how early-dismissal requests are handled. You need to notify all families by end of day. You open your AI assistant, paste in the old policy language, and ask it to draft an update explaining the new procedure.

The draft comes back in about ten seconds. It reads well — clear, professional, friendly. You have forty backlogged emails and a line at your desk.

While checking, you notice the AI draft says early-dismissal requests now require 48 hours' notice. The actual new policy says 24 hours.

The draft is now accurate — the number is fixed and you've re-checked the rest against the policy.

The takeaway. AI can draft fast. It can't verify itself. The standard is: check the draft against source material, catch and fully resolve factual errors — not just the first one you spot — and disclose AI involvement where your district's policy requires it.

Speed is the AI's job. Accuracy and transparency are still yours.
