🧠 SECTION 1: What School Leaders Are Saying About AI
AI isn’t coming—it’s already here. And it’s reshaping how we lead, teach, and communicate.
But here’s the reality check:
✔ 79% of educators say their districts still don’t have a clear AI policy.
✔ Students are already using AI tools—even if schools aren’t talking about it.
✔ Leaders are feeling the pressure to respond… but many don’t know where to start.
The good news? You don’t need to be a tech expert. You just need a smart plan and a little support.
