Academic Operations · K-12 Credit Recognition

Iyra leads academic operations at a high school — which in practice means she spends her days at the intersection of course recognition, partner agreements, and the awkward email chains that happen when a student's credit doesn't land where it was supposed to. It's not a glamorous job, but it's where most of the damage gets done or undone. She writes about what she sees from inside the system: where credit transfer actually breaks, what schools look for, and how families can avoid the most common pitfalls.
