When a parent asks “What’s your AI policy?” — have the answer.

Your teachers are using AI. Your students are using it more. Most schools still don’t have a written policy. Virginia just passed AI guidelines for public schools — private schools are on their own.

The problem

Right now, teachers at your school are winging it with AI. Some use it well. Some paste student information into free tools without knowing the risk. Students use it on homework and nobody agrees on what counts as cheating. Sooner or later, a parent asks “what’s your AI policy?” — and there isn’t one. Only about a third of school districts have a formal AI policy in place. That’s the gap I close.

Built for schools where one person can say yes — private schools, independent schools, microschools, and small learning communities.

Who I am

I’m Tonia Emanuel. I spent 15 years as a Senior Client Success Manager in healthcare technology — my whole job was getting non-technical people to actually use new tools, not just sit through training on them. I also raised a written data-privacy concern about an AI recording tool at my own company. I know where these tools go wrong, not just where they shine. Today I build AI products, workflows, and training full time, right here in Richmond.

Packages and prices

School AI Starter Package — $2,400 ⭐ Start here

Everything a small school needs to answer the AI question, in one package:

  • A written AI policy for your school that answers the three questions you will actually get:
    • Can students use AI on assignments — and where’s the line?
    • What happens when a teacher suspects AI on student work?
    • What student information can never go into these tools?
  • A half-day, hands-on staff training — laptops open, nobody sits through slides. Your teachers turn one lesson into three levels, draft a hard parent email in their own voice, and build a prompt library for your school — in the room, that day. And yes: I know some teachers walk in worried AI means they’re being replaced or their grading is about to be policed. The session is built for that room too.
  • A one-page parent letter, ready to send home, that shows families your school has a plan.

The policy is practical school guidance, customized to your school — it is not legal counsel.

Staff Training Session only — $1,500

The training portion of the Starter Package, on its own. Good if your policy is already handled. One honest note: research shows training alone fades in about 30 days without follow-up — which is why most schools pair it with the policy or the support plan below.

Parent Workshop — add to any package for $1,000

One evening session. Parents learn what these tools are, how their kids already use them, and how to guide it at home instead of fighting it. Your school looks proactive. The questions stop landing on your teachers.

Ongoing Support — $500/month (3-month minimum)

Training fades in about 30 days without follow-up — that’s not my opinion, it’s what the research shows. This tier exists because of it: monthly check-in, updated tools and prompts as things change, and email access for teacher questions with a 48-hour response.
