What Is Board Meeting Intelligence?
ThinkKits scrapes and analyzes school board meeting data from two major platforms — BoardDocs and Simbli — which together host the majority of public school board agendas and minutes in the United States.
Board meetings are where the real purchasing decisions happen: budget approvals, curriculum adoptions, vendor contract awards, and superintendent hires. This data turns public meetings into actionable sales intelligence.
