Teacher wants the ability to decline or require administrative oversight for meetings that are unproductive, confrontational, or about non-negotiable grading decisions.

Workarounds Described

• insists on having administrator present for meeting
• uses email to decline student extension requests
• uses prep period for decompression instead of meeting

Implied Software Gaps

• Meeting auto-decline based on non-negotiable criteria
• Automatic flagging of meeting requests from students with harassment history to require admin

MeetingShield

MeetingShield is an app for K-12 teachers that gives them control over meeting requests from students and parents. It uses a policy-based approval engine that auto-declines meetings about non-negotiable topics (e.g., grade changes after deadline), and requires admin co-attendance for flagged students. Integrates with school calendar and SIS.
