How K–12 briefs
are actually produced.

K–12 state briefs follow a seven-phase production process covering source gathering, structured outlining, drafting, compliance audit, publication, and distribution. Every claim traces to a publicly available source.

Policy sources

State legislature & DOE guidance

Enacted legislation, pending bills, State Board of Education meeting records, Department of Education guidance documents, and state workforce development plans — all publicly available and citable.

Federal funding

Title I, II-A, IV-A allocations

State-level federal funding data from ED.gov, with per-pupil calculations where relevant. Used to analyze eligibility and allocation scale relative to AI literacy professional development costs.

District signals

Implementation at the largest districts

Policies, pilots, and curriculum announcements from each state’s 3–5 largest districts (by enrollment). Drawn from NCES Common Core of Data and public district records.

Regional context

Service agency infrastructure

Each state’s regional service structure — ESCs, IUs, BOCES, ESDs — mapped as implementation infrastructure. These agencies often drive actual rollout beyond what state policy alone describes.
