Registered User Submission and Posting Policy

SchoolDataLeadership.org welcomes submissions of files (e.g. PDF files, word docs, spreadsheets, etc.), blog posts, questions/answers, and articles that promote the effective use and management of technology and related support systems in California K-12 schools.  The site is a "mash-up" or convergence of ideas related to assessment, district enterprise systems, technology support, software integration, data analysis, digital dashboards, and any other thing that strikes our fancy.   

Our contributors are mainly California K-12 school administrators, teachers, and staff, with a few parents thrown in for good measure (many of us are both parents and educators).  Most of us are already active members of CITE, CUE, CTA, ACSA, CABE, etc., but are interested in addressing "cross-team" or "cross-departmental" concerns that might not yet have an active home in those other spaces.

We believe that our site benefits from a wide range of authentic opinions from educators, experts, novices, technology enthusiasts and more. We welcome registered users to join our conversations with contributions that will serve the interests of our audience.  However, we do not accept submissions from contributors whose sole purpose is link sharing or advertising.  We are interested in YOUR voice, not someone else's!  And to remain an "honest-broker", we do not accept targeted advertisements from vendors.  Ultimately SchoolDataLeadership.org reserves the right to refuse content and remove links and bios from submitted posts if we deem the content to be outside the collective goals and standards of the community.

Not every idea is a good one . . .
