We send readers to your reporting.

SchoolBoardNews helps parents, educators and school board members find local reporting about public schools. We don't republish articles. Every story card and story page leads with a link to your article, and that link is the main thing we ask readers to do.

What we show

• Your headline, outlet name, publication date and a link to your article.
• For most stories, a short AI-assisted summary written in our own words, labeled as AI-assisted, and checked automatically so it never copies your wording. It points readers to your article as the authoritative source.
• Your image or byline only when an editor has approved it, shown with credit and never cropped.

We never store or show the full text of your article, and our emails carry only headlines and links.

What we don't summarize

No summary is written, and your article text is never sent to an AI model, when:

• your page's robots meta tag says nosnippet, noai or max-snippet:0;
• your robots.txt blocks AI crawlers from your whole site (for example GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended or CCBot), or you reserve text and data mining rights (a tdm-reservation tag or /.well-known/tdmrep.json). We check these before every summary and recheck every publisher weekly;
• your structured data marks the article as not free to read (isAccessibleForFree: false);
• you've asked us to opt your site out (below);
• the story is sensitive, for example one that involves a student or alleges a crime.

Those stories still appear with the headline and a link to you.

The traffic we send

Links from SchoolBoardNews to your site carry utm_source=schoolboardnews and utm_medium=referral, so you can see the readers we send you in your own analytics.

Opt out of summaries

Email emily.williams@spadehouse.studio with your site's domain. Once we add it, no new summaries are written for your stories and the ones already written are removed. Your headlines and links stay unless you also ask us to remove them.

Corrections and takedowns

To correct or remove a story, email emily.williams@spadehouse.studio with the story link, or use Report an issue on the story page. An editor reviews every request.
