Independent AI and cybersecurity intelligence for educators & school system leaders. Always accessible. Always free.
The Weekly Incident Bulletin
Each issue surfaces 3 to 5 (sometimes even 6!) incidents that create real audit risk, explains what a federal monitor would look for, and tells you exactly what to do about it.
That's what subscribers get every Monday:
Education and organization AI risk
What broke, what it means, what to do
Reminders to verify security features & user policies
Verified resources to back up and validate future changes in governance behavior if relevant
Piece of mind & informed knowledge on next steps in your district
The Weekly Incident Bulletin is free for K-12 administrators, tech coordinators, and compliance leaders who can't afford to find out about an AI compliance gap the hard way.
Any administrator can Google the incident. What they can't Google is whether it creates a documentation gap in their district, which federal requirement it touches, and what to put in writing before anyone asks.
The District Filing
Each issue of The District Filing includes:
Tool Spotlight: a full operational review of one AI tool, scored across vendor support, staff training, data handling, and workflow fit, with a decision label: Proceed, Caution, or Do Not Deploy
Tool Spotlight Card: a downloadable, versioned one-page PDF of the tool review, including the School Fit Snapshot, decision label, and evidence links, updated when vendor terms or data practices change
10 Things Every Educator Needs to Know: ten field-by-field findings from the tool review, written for staff communication and internal documentation
Endurance Skills Guide: six professional practices that apply regardless of which tool arrives next
Skill in Focus: a deep dive into one educator competency directly tied to the tool reviewed
Policy Update: one federal or state policy explained in plain language, with direct application to the tool and workflow covered in that issue
The District Filing is your weekly intelligence report for Kâ12 leaders who need to make documented, defensible decisions about AI tools.
Every issue is archived and every tool card is versioned, so when a tool comes up in a meeting six months from now, the research is still there. One tool, fully vetted, every week.
