Start with sources you can inspect
For official requirements, use the relevant authority. For research, identify the study and its scope. Prefer original sources to a chain of summaries. A source’s age and intended audience matter.
Separate facts from recommendations
We distinguish an authority’s statement from a suggested meeting agenda, checklist, or next step. Guidance for one state or type of institution is not presented as a rule for every school.
Show when we checked
Research articles include a review date and source links. A review date is not a promise of continuous monitoring. Check the linked authority before acting on a time-sensitive requirement.
Be clear about our interests
The School Guru is part of Softworx, which provides the instantAIguru platform. Product pages describe that service. Editorial resources aim to be useful independently of a purchase, and inclusion of a source does not imply its endorsement of us.
Make corrections straightforward
Send the page URL, the statement you believe needs attention, and a source we can check. Substantive corrections should be reflected in the article’s review information.

Writing and review
We may use AI to assist research and drafting. Sources and claims still need verification, and editorial responsibility remains with The School Guru. These resources do not replace professional advice about an individual institution’s circumstances.
