When a district should use BoardAsk
A school district, a solicitor, a superintendent, or a board office uses BoardAsk when the question is about a record the district already published. That includes an agenda, a set of minutes, an adopted policy, a bill list, a budget, or a recovery plan. The answer cites the page. The cited page is the official record, and the answer text is a summary of that page.
BoardAsk is the wrong tool for a student information system, an individualized education program, a personnel file, or any packet the district has not published. If it is not already public, it is not in BoardAsk. The district keeps its website, board portal, and policy host. BoardAsk sits downstream of what they already post.
This website explains the product and how to start. It is not a live archive of any district. A district’s own records are available after that district is set up. The services agreement names the sources, who may sign in, and how long those materials are kept. If the agreement and these pages differ, the agreement controls.
Search is for a name or a phrase. Ask is for an open question across documents, in more than one step, when you do not know the wording. BoardAsk prefers the newest record when something has changed. The district does not need its own model subscription, API keys, or a second model bill. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are not priced to OCR every page of a district archive, and a chat thread does not hold thousands of district documents.
The sample on this page uses published records from the State College Area School District and the Sto-Rox School District so you can see a cited page, with the regions and words on that page. It is an illustration of published records. It is not a statement that either district is a customer.
To evaluate BoardAsk, schedule a meeting, send a message, or request a proposal. Sign in is for a district that already has access. Privacy and terms on this site are the public baseline. Questions about a specific district belong in that district’s agreement. Just Right Place, LLC operates BoardAsk from Scranton, Pennsylvania.
If you are helping a district, a solicitor, or a board office, send them to the get-started page. This website does not search their files. Ask which published record the question is about. The answer names that page. Fees, the term, who may sign in, and how long those materials are kept are in the services agreement.

FAQ
ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are not priced to OCR every page of a district archive. BoardAsk runs its own pipeline: OCR, extraction, classification, and segmentation. A 200-page image scan does not behave in a chat upload, and a thread does not hold thousands of district documents. BoardAsk keeps the manifest, and that district’s index keeps getting better.
Every answer shows the page it came from, with the passage highlighted. The page is the official record, not BoardAsk’s summary, so staff can check it in seconds. BoardAsk answers only from the district’s published records, and if it cannot find something, it should say so.
No. BoardAsk indexes only records the district already publishes. No Infinite Campus, no IEPs, no personnel files, no confidential packets. If the district has not published it, it is not in BoardAsk.
No. Nothing from executive session. BoardAsk reads only what the district already posts publicly.
BoardAsk indexes records a district already publishes, such as agendas, minutes, policies, and public packets. For a Pennsylvania school district, that starts with what the board and the district already post. The solicitor decides what else belongs. The agreement names those sources and can add or drop them. The cited page is the official record, not the answer text.
Search is for a name or a phrase. Ask is for an open question across documents, in more than one step, when you do not know the wording. Board Ask prefers the newest record when something has changed.
No. The district keeps its system of record. BoardAsk sits downstream of the website, board portal, and policy host, and cites that source. It does not replace them.
No. It is a faster way to find what is already in the record. People still make every decision.
Only the people the district names, such as board members, administrators, and the solicitor. Sign-in is password protected, and the web app is for internal district use.
Only if the district adds the public version. It puts the same cited answers on the district website, from published records only, and residents do not sign in. A district can start with the board and staff, then add the public version once they are comfortable with the answers. About the public version
No. BoardAsk is a website you sign in to, hosted in the United States. Nothing is installed at the district, and there is no equipment to buy.
No. The district does not need its own model subscription, API keys, or a second model bill.
Nothing goes missing. Your agendas, minutes, and policies still live on your district website and board portal. BoardAsk is a layer on top that reads what you publish.
