From Appeal of P.M. & E.M., decided Tuesday by the N.Y. Commissioner of Education (Betty Rosa):
Petitioners challenge a determination of the Board of Education of the Mount Pleasant Central School District ("respondent") imposing discipline on their child (the "student")….
The student attended ninth grade in respondent's high school at the time of the events giving rise to this appeal. On February 14, 2024, the district received reports that certain "male students had used an artificial intelligence application to create nude images of [several] female classmates and … shared them with other students." Respondent's investigation implicated the student….
The student admitted that he created three images but stated that he did not show, or share them with, anyone else. The student also admitted that he told several classmates about a website where such images could be created. The student additionally indicated that he had deleted the three images.
