This session will explore why governance is the foundation of successful AI adoption and management in schools, and why ICT managers are central to getting it right. Using the DecisionLine Generative AI Governance & Management Framework for Schools, we will examine practical approaches to AI readiness, risk mitigation, policy development, procurement, and change management. The focus will be on enabling innovation while safeguarding students, staff, and data. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how ICT leaders can drive the AI governance discussion in their schools. In doing so they can help establish the guardrails for safe, effective, and sustainable AI adoption and continuous improvement, ensuring AI delivers real value across the school community.
