Case Study: Ysleta Independent School District achieves safe, transparent AI use with Securly

Ysleta Independent School District reduces AI deflections by 90% with Securly

Ysleta Independent School District, a large border district in Texas, faced the challenge of students using AI tools like ChatGPT without visibility or safeguards. The district needed data to understand how AI was being used to foster responsible adoption rather than simply blocking it. Partnering with vendor Securly, they sought a solution using Securly's AI Transparency Solution and Securly Filter to gain insights.

The solution involved implementing Securly's tools to collect usage data and set up AI guardrails with redirect capabilities. This allowed Ysleta ISD to redirect students to approved AI tools instead of blocking access outright. The measurable results were significant: weekly AI deflections (indicators of policy-violating use) dropped from 46,000 to under 6,000, a reduction of nearly 90%, while productive student AI conversations rose to nearly 25,000 per week. Securly provided the district with the visibility and framework to support safe, innovative AI use.
