15	HI	No	Yes	Working Group	"'When we have new technologies that come out, we are very cautious because we're unsure of what it can do and the negative outcomes that come with it,' said Chad Nacapuy, a state virtual education director at the Hawaiʻi Department of Education. 'Right now, that's the problem,' he said. 'We don't exactly know where the guardrail should be. So we have to continue to work and help our students to be authentic with their learning.' Some teachers have caught their students using the ChatGPT to cheat a month after its launch. Concerns are growing as AI is also used to plagiarize academic essays. So far, the education department has restricted students from using ChatGPT in schools, although teachers and administrators continue to use it for work."

34	NH	Yes	Yes	Meeting with Board	"New Hampshire Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut, who gave a presentation about ChatGPT to the state Board of Education on Thursday, said he feels like it is the latest iteration of technology like spellcheck and Grammerly that takes over skills that once had to be laboriously learned in class. 'We need to update our models for the 21st century,' he said. “When we send that child home to write a 500-word essay, what is it we’re trying to instill in them and teach them? They need the concepts and logic models to be able to think through that stuff. The same learning objectives can exist with this new tool.'"	https://www.concordmonitor.com/ChatGPT-college-essay-49507670
