Under New Business on June 17, 2026, the School Committee is scheduled to distribute a new policy IJNDBB, "Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools," alongside updates to student and staff technology responsible use policies. The introduction of a dedicated AI policy suggests the district is beginning to formalize how AI tools will be governed for students and staff in instruction and operations. While there is no direct purchase attached, districts typically pair AI policy work with evaluation of AI-enabled curriculum tools, plagiarism detection, tutoring platforms, safety/monitoring solutions, and professional development. Vendors offering AI-aligned instructional software, governance frameworks, and staff training can engage with curriculum and IT leaders as they interpret and implement IJNDBB to ensure any future AI deployments are policy-compliant and pedagogically sound.
The AI policy is being rolled out alongside updated responsible use policies, indicating a broader r...

Between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026, SIUC received IBHE and presidential approval for several new programs and certificates related to artificial intelligence, instructional technology, and media, including a B.S. in Artificial Intelligence+ (CIP 11.0102), an Artificial Intelligence for Learning and Training post‑baccalaureate certificate, an AI in Creative Fields minor, and an Instructional Technology post‑baccalaureate certificate (renamed from Learning and Performance Technology). These are in addition to various media and animation minors and accelerations. While not direct procurements, these curricular changes indicate a strategic emphasis on AI, digital media, and instructional technology that will drive needs for specialized software, cloud resources, digital content, lab infrastructure, and faculty development. EdTech, AI‑tool, and curriculum‑content vendors can interpret this as a signal to engage academic departments about courseware, platforms, and partnerships that support the launch and scaling of these new programs over the next few academic years.

In March 2026, SIUE purchased 110631.12 in “Nurse Anne” simulators from Laerdal Medical Corporation using restricted educational funds. These simulation mannequins support nursing and health‑sciences training, likely within the School of Nursing or related programs. While this purchase is awarded, it indicates active investment in high‑fidelity simulation and skills‑training infrastructure. Vendors offering simulation lab design, AV capture systems, scenario content, service contracts, and complementary simulation technologies can view this as a signal that SIUE is modernizing its clinical training environments and may pursue additional phases of equipment and integration in future years.

The Embarc development agreement requires that within six months of opening, the operator must fund and implement a youth drug education and prevention program in Sutter Creek using a recognized curriculum. The intent is to use a portion of the 1% community benefit fund and state-aligned cannabis tax programs to support youth education, intervention, and public health efforts locally. The City and Embarc will need to select curricula, delivery partners, and outcome measures, likely partnering with schools, tribal organizations, or nonprofits with experience in substance use prevention. This creates a prospective opportunity for curriculum providers, prevention consultants, and training organizations to propose evidence-based programs tailored to small communities and to help the city access competitive state funding streams tied to cannabis tax revenues.
