The IPA Model Student Handbook, But Even Smarter

Keeping a student handbook current is important, but it can also be time-consuming. Policies change, legal requirements evolve, and each school has its own procedures and information to communicate to students and families.

The Illinois Principals Association (IPA) has long helped make that work easier through the Online Model Student Handbook, providing school leaders with quick access to model procedures that are attorney drafted and aligned with PRESS, as well as state, federal, and case law.

Now, IPA and ECRA are making that trusted resource even more useful with Model Student Handbook AI.

Put AI to Work on Your Student Handbook

ECRA has developed an AI Assistant specifically for IPA’s Model Student Handbook that helps school leaders manage and maintain handbook content more efficiently. The AI Assistant makes the Model Student Handbook easier to navigate, giving principals a simple way to find relevant information and get more value from this trusted IPA resource.

The result is less time spent searching through documents and working through revisions, making it easier to keep your handbook current and useful.

Make Your Handbook Easier for Families to Use

Model Student Handbook AI also transforms your school’s own handbook into an interactive resource for families. Once a district provides its handbook to ECRA, families can use the AI Assistant to ask questions and quickly find answers based on the information in that handbook.

Families can interact with the AI Assistant online or simply send a question by email and receive the response by email. This unique feature makes handbook information accessible through a familiar communication tool that families already use every day.

The AI Assistant is available 24/7 and supports multilingual communication, including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and more.

For principals, the benefit is simple. Spend less time managing handbook content, reduce routine questions, and make important information easier for families to find.

Model Student Handbook AI combines IPA’s trusted Model Student Handbook with ECRA’s AI technology to make an essential resource smarter, simpler, and more useful for school leaders and the families they serve.
