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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
