Great start to my morning at the AIR Show. Thinking around AI and Media Literacy. Media 1.0 (Human) and 2.0 (human+AI) and Media 3.0 (AI agents) are creating more “media” now than all of history. Kids and adults must learn how to know and be critical consumers. @massp

It was first but the boys rebounded getting 1st Place in Reflection Relay (well done coach Rob) and 3rd in Weather or Not. Proud of the boy and his team who took 1st place overall!

Heartened to be on a webinar with @ACLU of MI to learn their perspective on protections for LGBTQIA+ MI citizens and students in the face of recent EOs. MI Law is very clear about non-discrimination. The ELCRA and other law keeps protections for these students (and adults) in place.

Key laws that passed in lame duck. This one is huge for @MASSP Principals and their teams. @bobkefgen.bsky.social talks about the new law and how it will impact school leadership. Threat Assessment is a very crucial heavy lift. The notification of safe storage is also positive. #masspap25
