Schools talk a lot about AI and new tools. Connectivity still comes first. Can't run any of it without a signal.
Most schools aren't behind on AI because of budget.
They're behind because nobody owns it.
Pick one person. Give them one hour a week. Start there.
November is a good time to reset before the final stretch of the year.
Which leadership habit deserves more attention on your team?
Most schools ask "should we use AI?"
Wrong question.
Ask what boring work is stealing time from families and teachers. Then put AI on that.
Your website isn't a brochure. It's the first tour most families take.
If it feels like 2014, they're booking somewhere else.

Never lead on an island. Ridge Academy Head of School @nicoledarroch1 breaks down how church partnerships and trusted advisors safeguard school success. Tap into these valuable insights when the episode launches on November 9! 🛡️🌱
Schools get pitched by a dozen vendors who don't talk to each other.
Idea I'm working on: a small, vetted group of school-service companies that share referrals, insights, and audiences. No referral fees. Just trust.
Homeschooling taught me something about business. The best lessons are rarely on the schedule. A random question at breakfast can beat a whole planned unit. Marketing works the same way. Listen to what parents actually ask.
The schools that win with AI won't have the fanciest tools. They'll be the ones that answer a parent's question at 9pm on a Sunday. Fast, friendly, and accurate. That's the whole game.
AI is moving faster than most school strategic plans. Heads of school don't need to be experts. They just need to start and keep learning out loud.
How can school leaders keep pace with the rapid evolution of AI?
In Member View EDU podcast, Brent Kaneft, head of school at Wilson Hall discusses AI’s impact on schools, preparing students for the future, and leading through change.🎧 Listen now: apple.co/3rA5p3i
Five straight years of charter growth in Utah while overall public enrollment drops. Families are choosing. The schools that tell their story clearly will keep winning.
30% of Oklahoma parents would pick private school if they had the option. That gap between what families want and where they are is huge. Private schools, the question is whether those families can even find you.
Oklahoma’s school parents were asked: “If given the option, what type of school would you select in order to obtain the best education for your child?”
Regular public school … 48%
Private school … 30%
Homeschool … 11%
Charter school … 4%
Don’t know/no opinion … 6%

November is when families start shopping for next fall. If your inquiry form takes 3 days to get a reply, you already lost some of them. Reply within the hour. Even a short one beats silence.
Great leaders don't need to have every answer. They need the curiosity to ask better questions and the humility to listen.
What's one question you could ask your team this week?
🤖 Made with AI
School leaders need to hear this. Telling your story isn't bragging. If you're changing kids' lives, families deserve to know about it.
Parents are asking ChatGPT which school to pick. Not someday. Right now.
If your website is vague, the AI will be vague about you too.
Clear tuition. Clear mission. Clear next step.
That's the new SEO for schools.
Someone deserves to get fired for having school be open today in Port St. Lucie. @1SLPS
