BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) —OpenAI has formed a partnership with the Kern High School District and is bringing ‘ChatGPT for Teachers,’ as part of an expansion that includes 30 new school systems.
‘ChatGPT for Teachers’ is a workspace built for teachers and school leaders to personalize lessons, do more with prep time, and collaborate, according to a press release.
The AI adoption in Kern County is expected to help teachers safely use AI in their day-to-day work.

OpenAI has also released a new Back-to-School report: “Learning Never Stops,”a new report that shows how AI makes learning continuous.
Key findings in the report were:
- 460M+ ChatGPT prompts per week in the U.S. are related to coursework and homework during the school year, with activity peaking on Sunday evenings.
- Up to 70M conversations per week across age groups are used for self-testing, with users checking answers, showing their own attempts and asking for additional practice.
- 1.9M+ messages this year relate to tasks that help educators save time, including lesson planning, progress reports and other administrative work.
