AI Tool Procurement, Implementation and Evaluation Checklist
Toolkit for K-12 Education

Publication May 2025

SREB created this checklist to help K-12 educators, schools and districts implement AI tools safely, effectively and ethically. It includes practical and targeted questions to:

  • Know what to ask before adopting new AI tools.
  • Protect data privacy and student safety.
  • Align AI use with educational goals.
  • Stay compliant with regulations.

The tool is organized by each stage of AI implementation:

  • Designing an AI Implementation Plan
  • Procuring AI Tools
  • Deploying AI in Your School
  • Monitoring and Evaluating AI Use
  • Engaging with Vendors

The resource was developed with SREB’s Guidance for the Use of AI in the K-12 Classroom.
