When Superintendent Scott Monson decided it was time to bring clarity to how Minneota Public Schools approaches AI, he didn't wait, he went looking for the right partnership. Working in tandem with SWWC Technology Integration Program Coordinator David Berner, Minneota assembled an AI task force, audited their current practices, and developed AI guidance that actually fits their community. In this session, David walks through the real process (tools, frameworks, and conversations) that moved a small rural district from scattered questions to a structured plan. You'll leave with insights and inspiration for how your district can do the same, no matter where you're starting from. Small school. Right leaders. Real plan.
