What happens when a school leader doesn’t just adopt AI, but invites students and teachers to help shape how it’s used? In this conversation, Dr. Paul Turnbull, President of Mid-Pacific Institute, shares how his school is approaching AI as a collaborative effort—one that balances innovation with intention. He walks through the creation of an AI advisory council, why student voice matters in policy decisions, and how to navigate the tension between experimentation and “AI sprawl.” Along the way, he offers a candid look at what’s working, what’s challenging, and what’s next—both in the classroom and behind the scenes in school leadership.
