What are today's superintendents actually facing, and why AI alone won't fix it.

Brett Roer sits down with Amy Dujon, VP of Education Brands at ARC Network, who sees patterns across hundreds of districts. With 27 years in education, from classroom teacher to principal to district leadership, Amy brings a rare vantage point on the unprecedented challenges school leaders are navigating right now.

Key Topics:

• The simultaneous, interconnected crises superintendents are holding (mental health, teacher retention, chronic absenteeism, AI adoption)
• Why leaders aren't lacking ideas about AI, they're lacking time, policy cover, and bandwidth
• The critical shift: using AI to reduce operational friction so humans have more space for connection
• What must stay human: relationship building, mental wellness, and the connections only educators can provide
• How district leaders can adopt AI thoughtfully without replacing the heart of education

If you lead a school, district, or education organization, this conversation reframes the AI debate and offers a clearer path forward.
