After nearly 30 years in education, I watched schools panic as AI exploded into classrooms with zero guidance. Teachers were creating their own rules. Administrators were paralyzed by legal uncertainty. Students were caught between conflicting policies.

That’s when I realized the “experts” were missing the point entirely.

Instead of waiting for perfect, top-down policies that might never come, I built something different — the world’s first bottom-up AI policy framework: a meeting-based system that puts educators in control of their own solutions.

Three books later, the Stop-Gap AI Compliance Guides are helping schools move from confusion to confident compliance — preventing litigation and building governance that actually works in real classrooms.

The truth? The best AI policies aren’t written by consultants who’ve never set foot in a school. They’re built by the people who understand students, teaching, and learning.

My mission is simple: give educators the tools to lead the AI revolution — not scramble to survive it. When schools need frameworks that prevent lawsuits and create sustainable AI integration, they don’t need more theory. They need proven systems that work.
