For your cabinet

DistrictWise for your district.

The tool your cabinet saw — running on your policies. This page is the same walkthrough, on your own governance stack, so anyone who missed the room can catch up in ten minutes.

01 · The stack

Five layers, one card.

Every decision your leaders make sits under five layers of authority — and, when your district keeps its own manuals, memos and cabinet documents, a sixth. DistrictWise reads all of them and returns one cited card, or says which layer is silent, or which two disagree.

Layer
What it governs
Where it lives today
Federal law
Title IX, IDEA, FERPA, Section 504. The floor you cannot negotiate below.
Federal registers and OCR guidance letters
State law
California Education Code, Title 5, Government Code. 2,200+ statutes, amended every session.
Leginfo, keyword search only
Board policy
What your trustees adopted, in your district, on a date. Sometimes years behind the statute above it.
A portal, one PDF at a time
Administrative regulation
The procedure staff are actually held to. Where timelines, forms and notice requirements hide.
Same portal, rarely read
Bargaining agreement
The bargained agreement that can override the regulation above it for represented staff. The layer most often missed.

02 · Two surfaces, same corpus

One for the principal. One for the cabinet.

The site leader asks a plain-language question and gets a cited card in under two minutes. The cabinet queries across the same corpus — policy, regulation, bargaining, and your own documents — and gets a comparison, a Refresh feed, or a picture of what actually changed this month.

The principal’s screen
What happened. One card, one answer, or an escalation with the question already written.
The principal’s screen — a question answered as a cited card: risk band, bottom line, interpretation, actions to consider, and the evidence rail.
The analyst’s screen
Here is your corpus. What do you want to know? Compare, refresh, and see what moved this month.
The analyst’s screen — one search across board policies, district documents and law, each result with Open and Explain.

03 · The band system

It stops. It doesn’t decide.

Most tools are built to always have an answer. DistrictWise is built to know when a layer is silent, when two layers disagree, and when local policy has fallen behind the statute above it.

CLEAR
A governing policy exists and it fits. You get the policy and the routine step. You still make the call.
VERIFY
Answerable, after you check one thing. The card names the one thing.
HIGH RISK
Don’t act yet. Instead of an answer you get the question to put in front of the district office or counsel, already framed.
DistrictWise provides research and governance intelligence. It does not provide legal advice and does not authorize action. Cards reflect your district’s corpus as of the date shown on each card.
04 · Your documents stay yours

Your data is yours. Ours is ours.

Your policy corpus, your bargaining agreements, your cabinet documents — they belong to your district and stay under your control. You keep the folder current. We never write to it. Read the details on our privacy policy and security overview.
