I'd like to hear some ideas on how to get buy-in from the people who most have to be convinced, and about who I'm seeing little conversation: High school site and school district admin. Going back to the White Paper here:
California District Proposal White Paper: Refocusing the Conversations
it's a people problem, not an engineering problem, and the solutions must be relational, not logarithmic. The people who have direct effect on issues beyond our control must be convinced that what we do is worthy of backing.

Joe, I agree with you that boots on the ground is what's going to find venues. I'm over here in NH and have no skin in the game. What I do have, however, is a willingness to dig through boring government reports and munge data into something that others can use without wanting to tear their hair out.
How to get buy in? Honestly, simplest approach is just ask. I assume each venue is going to have its own concerns and challenges.
