Educational leaders across the United States are facing a transformative era as artificial intelligence promises to reshape administrative workflows.

To better understand how superintendents and educational leaders across the country are seeing this, we collected insights from a random distribution of superintendents and educational leaders across the United States (linked here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KCmefA-msTJRGr7LKB1gYR97YeORbM6K14U6ROEyTwg/edit?usp=sharing).

The data reveals that…

on average, educational leaders believe approximately 37% of their current workflows could be automated with existing AI tools – a significant portion that suggests substantial efficiency gains are within reach.

Looking ahead, these educational leaders predict that AI will dramatically expand its footprint…

with expectations that 60% of their responsibilities will be augmented or automated by AI within the next five years. This rapid, anticipated growth tells a compelling story of an education sector on the cusp of technological transformation.

The responses demonstrate a spectrum of expectations – with particular optimism around AI's potential to transform data analysis, regulatory compliance, and routine communications, while giving back more time to focus on instructional support and goals to accelerate student learning. This forward-looking data provides valuable insights for educational technology developers, policy makers, and leadership training programs as they prepare for an increasingly AI-integrated educational landscape.
