For district leadership

Every school you run, one honest number

Simpler runs from the district office down to a single student's homework. So the attendance figure on your board deck and the row in a teacher's register are not two systems agreeing — they are the same data, read from different altitudes.

Nothing below needs a procurement conversation. The walkthrough runs on demo data, in your browser, right now.

The problem

Most districts don't lack data. They lack one version of it.

A normal Tuesday

  • The SIS knows enrollment. The LMS knows assignments. The behaviour tool knows incidents. Nothing knows all three about the same child.
  • A question from the board takes three departments and a week.
  • Every export is a CSV somebody reconciles by hand, and the reconciliation is where the errors live.
  • The AI features are bolted onto each tool separately, and none of them can see the others.

On Simpler

  • One schema. Attendance, grades, behaviour, wellbeing and every AI interaction are rows in the same database.
  • A question from the board is three clicks: open the school, open the class, open the student.
  • Any table exports to CSV, to a live sheet or to a document — and writes an audit row naming who did it.
  • The AI sits on top of all of it, and shows its evidence and its confidence before you act on it.
The district view

This is the first screen a superintendent sees

Eight numbers, and then the only part that matters: what changed, why it changed, and what to do about it. Open a row and the AI shows the evidence it used and states how confident it is. Nothing on this page is a red dot with no argument behind it.

  • The decline is concentrated in Year 8, and almost entirely in period 1. It is not a district-wide dip — every other school is flat or up over the same window.

    What it looked at

    • Year 8 period-1 absence: 7.1% → 15.4% since week 3
    • Years 7 and 9 unchanged at 4.8% and 5.1%
    • Bus route 12 rescheduled in week 3
    • 41 of the 58 affected students ride route 12

    Recommended

    Check the route-12 timetable change with transport before treating this as truancy.

From 4,812 students to one student, in three clicks

The district's attendance figure and Maya Haddad's mastery score are the same rows read from different heights. That is also why one person gets exactly one account, one role and one portal — there is nothing to switch between, because there is nothing to reconcile.

Oversight

The unglamorous half, built in

The part nobody demos, and the part that decides whether a platform survives its first serious incident.

Cases and legal holds

A case desk, not a spreadsheet

Incident cases carry an age chip that turns amber at 21 days and red at 30, because that is when your own policy says somebody has to look. Legal holds are first-class objects tracked against the records they freeze — not a document a coordinator maintains privately and takes with them when they leave.

  • Pipeline, ageing and ownership at a glance
  • Holds tracked against the record they freeze
  • Every status change is attributable
  • Scoped to your district, enforced in the database

Safety

Major-incident monitor

A real taxonomy — weapons, drugs, fighting, harassment, staff assault — tiered, trended, and watched for the minor-to-major shift that precedes a bad term.

Communication

Board broadcasts

One announcement to school admins, the board or all staff, over chat and email at once. Email goes out bcc, so the distribution list stays private.

Accountability

The audit log

Every broadcast, export, report and record link writes a row naming the person who did it. When the board asks who saw what and when, the answer is a page rather than an archaeology project.

Cases

Ageing, ownership, and who did what

This is the surface that decides whether a platform survives its first serious incident, and it is the one nobody demos. Cases age visibly — amber at 21 days, red at 30, because that is when your own policy says somebody has to look. Change a status and watch the audit row appear.

Capacity

Size it like infrastructure, because it is

Districts choose their own allocation. Your plan includes up to 100 TB of cloud storage and up to 20 billion AI tokens a month — enough that no principal has to ration a lecture recording, and no teacher has to decide whether a class is worth spending the AI on.

up to 100 TB

of cloud storage

Documents, slides, lecture recordings, session recordings, submitted work and every file a student ever hands in. Sized once for the district rather than argued over school by school — and no teacher, student or administrator inside it carries a personal cap.

up to 20 billion

AI tokens a month

Every AI feature, every user, every school: the tutor, Simply, lesson generation, marking assistance, insight generation and the analytics narratives.

Both figures are contracted allowances agreed during scoping, not metered counters you watch tick down. Tell us your headcount on the call and we will size them there.

Rollout

What the first term actually looks like

01

Scoping call

We map your schools, your roles and your data agreement. You leave knowing exactly what we would need from you and when.

02

Provisioning

Accounts are provisioned by you, never self-signed-up. District, school, teacher, student and parent each get their own sealed door, and a wrong door is refused without saying which one was right.

03

Import

Google Classroom syncs in both directions, so no teacher starts over. Rosters, classes and assignments come across as they are.

04

The first board deck

Within a term the district view is populated by work students were already doing. Nobody enters data to make the dashboard exist.

Due diligence

What a board actually asks

Access is by role and by scope, enforced in the database rather than in the interface. A district admin sees their district; a school admin sees their school; a teacher sees their own classes; a parent sees only children they have a confirmed link to. There is no role that can switch into another portal, and no dual-role account.
