TY FOR TCAPS

Aaron Baughman — a self-professed “Title I kid” from Detroit — knocked it out of the park at the Michigan Association of School Boards Spring Institute Conference this past weekend.

He made it clear: there’s an equity imperative in AI adoption.

Level the playing field – reduce learning disparities

Guard against gaps – prevent tech from widening inequities

Support underserved groups – proactive training + access

Provide multiple on-ramps – make AI accessible to all leaders, no matter their starting point

Let’s lead with equity as a cornerstone of public education.
