Toolkits & Resources
Ready-to-use resources for vetting tools, learning from Wisconsin-context case studies, aligning to DPI/national guidance, and communicating clearly with families.
▸ AI screening & vetting rubric (support services)
Apply this checklist before pilots/purchases; emphasize human-in-the-loop and equity.
- Privacy & security: Data minimization, encryption, deletion timelines, incident response.
- Access controls: Role-based permissions, audit logs, authentication.
- Equity & bias checks: Document training data; require bias reports by subgroup; enable staff overrides.
- Accessibility & UDL: WCAG 2.2 AA; align to UDL checkpoints.
- Interoperability: Standards-based export; consider FHIR for health flows.
▸ Case studies (Wisconsin context)
- Asthma alerting (School Nursing): Rules-based alerts + weekly huddles → 18% fewer early dismissals; 12% more Action Plans; parity after threshold tuning.
- Attendance early-warning (Psych/Social Work): Simple model for Tier 2 triage + required overrides → faster outreach; chronic absenteeism down 3 pts; subgroup parity maintained.
- Career exploration (Counseling): Interest/aptitude tool + reflection conferences → +27% planning meetings; more nontraditional dual-credit; higher perceived “fit.”
Case capture checklist: baseline → implementation notes → metrics (effectiveness, equity, safety) → student/family feedback → lessons learned → contract/threshold updates.
▸ DPI & national guidance
Anchor local practice to reputable frameworks and DPI resources.
▸ Templates for parent/guardian communication

The tool reviews school records and suggests a human review by staff; it does not make decisions. Only authorized staff can view results. You may ask questions, request a meeting, or review your child’s information at any time.
