A Model Resolution for Homeschool Access, Equity, and Workforce Preparedness

Exciting news — the Buffalo Digital Access Map was highlighted in the WNY Digital Equity Coalition’s May newsletter.

This map helps residents find free WiFi, device lending, and digital literacy programs across Buffalo and WNY.

If you know someone who could benefit, please share it.

I’ve just released a new resolution: the Home Instruction Access, Equity, and Workforce Preparedness Funding Act.

This measure would allow families who choose homeschooling to receive County education dollars at the same rate used for charter schools — without raising taxes. It’s designed to expand options, support working families, and strengthen long‑term workforce readiness.

Public schools remain essential. But families deserve viable alternatives, especially when systems struggle.

Full resolution is now available. Article coming soon.

I’m sharing a project that reflects the kind of work we’re committed to at P2Solutions — making complex public systems easier for residents to understand.

David Liao took on the Buffalo Public Schools budget and created a clear, accessible breakdown that helps people see how the system works. His analysis is thoughtful, grounded, and focused on public value.

You can explore the full project here: https://bps-budget.vercel.app/

And if you’d like to follow David’s continued growth as a data analyst, you can connect with him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidliaos?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android

Work like this helps strengthen community understanding and supports more informed civic engagement.

Two ideas that came up in conversations around the article are worth surfacing because they get at the heart of why our civic ecosystem feels stuck.

1. We often build systems left‑to‑right when the real leverage is right‑to‑left.

Start with the outcome — the job, the institutional need, the long‑term objective — and build backward. That shift changes incentives, motivation, and accountability across the entire ecosystem.

2. People are conditioned to expect “solutions” before acknowledging the conditions that make solutions possible.

But in complex civic systems, naming the architecture is the prerequisite. You can’t fix what you can’t see. Diagnosis isn’t negativity — it’s the foundation for anything durable.

Both points reinforce why structural clarity matters. Not as criticism, but as the groundwork for alignment, ex*****on, and long‑term readiness.

I attended a session today on 10x and moonshot thinking.
The ambition was real — but it highlighted something deeper about how innovation actually works.

We often talk about exponential outcomes, but we rarely talk about the architecture required to support them.

What stood out today were the structural gaps that hold most ecosystems back:

• high ambition, low alignment
• fragmented incentives
• slow test velocity
• conservative risk posture
• unclear ownership
• AI discussed as novelty instead of workflow infrastructure

10x thinking isn’t just about mindset.
It’s about whether the system is designed to support exponential ex*****on.

If we want real transformation, we need:
• shared governance
• aligned incentives
• protected risk lanes
• cross‑organizational capacity
• AI embedded into workflows, not just content creation

Ambition matters.
But architecture determines what’s possible.
