Editorial cover on EvalScribe cream reading "Are AI evaluations defensible? It depends on the process, not the AI," with two tags (Plain English; For School Leaders) and four chips naming the four properties (Consistency; Framework fit; Evaluator judgment; A process record), over a subhead on where AI helps, where it adds risk, and what to ask before it reaches a personnel file. Footer: "General guidance, not legal advice."
