Flash-n-Flush one-pager

Flash-n-Flush: That voice sounds right. Check anyway.

A restroom-stall one-pager for all school staff (spring). AI tools can now imitate a real person's voice, and school leaders' voices are all over board meeting and graduation videos. Three tips — Hang up and call back; Agree on a code word; Judge the ask, not the audio — a spot-the-scam phone call with 5 red flags and the answer printed upside down, a sourced fun fact, a 60-second action and a QR code to a free two-minute lesson.
