AI is already in your classrooms
The question isn't whether to allow AI. It's whether you'll have clear policies before the next plagiarism accusation lands on your desk.
The AI policy gap
In discussions we've had with heads of school across the St. Louis area, a pattern has emerged. Students are using ChatGPT, Gemini, and a dozen other AI tools. Teachers aren't sure what's appropriate. Parents are divided between "ban it all" and "they need to learn this."
Meanwhile, the board is asking what your AI policy is. The honest answer for most schools? "We're working on it." Or worse: "We'll address it case by case."
Case-by-case decisions create inconsistency. Inconsistency creates conflict. Conflict damages trust - with teachers, with parents, with students.
What we help you create
Clear AI policies
Not a 50-page document nobody reads. Practical guidelines that teachers can actually use. What's allowed. What's not. What requires disclosure. When AI use is encouraged.
Teacher training that sticks
Your teachers are busy. They don't need another 3-hour PD session. They need practical guidance they can use tomorrow. We design training that respects their time.
Parent communication templates
How do you explain your AI approach to parents who are either terrified or dismissive? We help you craft messaging that builds trust without making promises you can't keep.
Board-ready materials
When the board asks "What's our AI strategy?" you'll have a clear answer. We help you present technology decisions in terms trustees understand.
Our perspective on AI in schools
Banning AI won't work. Students will use it anyway - you'll just lose visibility into how.
Pretending AI doesn't exist won't work either. These students will graduate into workplaces where AI fluency is expected.
The middle path - clear policies, appropriate use, transparency - is harder to implement but better for everyone. That's what we help you build.
