Federal Judge Rules on Lawrence Public Schools AI Surveillance Tool Lawsuit
A federal judge has issued a ruling in a lawsuit against Lawrence Public Schools over their use of an AI surveillance tool, Gaggle, to scan Google Workspace for safety risks. The judge ordered the district to respond to open records requests by the end of this week, which have been pending since October. The lawsuit, filed by students, claims the tool violates their rights. The judge rejected the districts attempt to switch to a similar tool, ManagedMethods, as a way to avoid the lawsuit. The ruling dismissed the school board, two high school admins, and claims from graduated students, keeping the core First and Fourth Amendment fights alive against the district itself. A hearing is set for April twenty-third to check if the district played fair and cover any legal costs.
