## Messaging do's and don'ts
*   **Do:** Use active verbs like "Transform," "Empower," "Identify," and "Modernize."
*   **Do:** Highlight specific New York State regional expertise and compliance (BOCES, RICs).
*   **Do:** Frame technical debt as a burden to be removed (e.g., "kick burdensome IT infrastructure to the curb").
*   **Don't:** Use passive language when describing data processing; treat data as a dynamic asset to be "wrangled" or "ingested."
*   **Don't:** Focus solely on the "how" without mentioning the "who" (students, administrators, and educators).
