AI School Leadership Minute: Write a Clear Back-to-School Board Update

AI School Leadership Minute: Write a Clear Back-to-School Board Update
School year starting = lots of new information coming in = lots to communicate to the board. Here's how to draft a clear board memo fast -

Step 1: Open ChatGPT and use this prompt ⬇️
“Act as a school superintendent who writes incredibly clear (easy to comprehend) updates for school boards. Draft a board-ready memo format with three sections: (1) Key Wins from the Start of School, (2) Current Challenges and Supports in Place, and (3) Next Steps and Priorities for the Coming Month. Use plain language that board members will understand quickly. Here is the context you need to include:
- Enrollment numbers (increase/decrease, highlights by grade level): [insert info here]
- Staffing updates (positions still open, new hires): [insert info here]
- First-week highlights (smooth start, student engagement examples): [insert info here]
- Current challenges (transportation, staffing, facilities, discipline): [insert info here]|
- Immediate priorities (goals, safety updates, policy reviews): [insert info here]"

Simply fill in the [square bracket placeholder] with what you need to include and hit enter.

Step 2: Review and Revise
ChatGPT will draft the memo. Review and update as needed. Don’t blindly use the AI output.

Hope this saves you time this school year.

To more clear communication with less prep time,
