Lane Young

Role: Director of Digital Learning and Technology Organization: Alexander Dawson School at Rainbow Mountain (Las Vegas, NV) Pronouns: He/Him LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laneyoung/ Relationship Depth: Intro made; two scheduled calls never happened; Reuben nudged 2026-05-12 — awaiting response. Connection Path: Christine Bywater → Lane (Christine connected Apr 17, 2026); mutual connection: Sohan. Christine handed the relationship off to AS.

Professional Background

• Director of Digital Learning and Technology, Alexander Dawson School at Rainbow Mountain (Jul 2025 – present)
• Phillips Brooks School (Menlo Park, CA), 8 years: Director of Strategic Operations and Technology (2023–2025) → Director of Educational Technology (2017–2023)
• North Shore Country Day School, ~10 years: Director of Library & Educational Technology (2011–2017) → Lower School Librarian and Tech Coordinator (2007–2011)
• 4th Grade Teacher, Arie Crown Hebrew Day School (2005–2007)
• Self-described “proven child-focused track record of helping schools achieve growth and manage change”

Working Relationship with Reuben

• Status (as of 2026-05-12): Two scheduled calls (May 5 → May 8) never happened. Lane was radio silent. Reuben sent a nudge 2026-05-12 — waiting on Lane.
• Origin: Christine connected Apr 17, 2026. Josh replied Apr 21 (“heck yes”) and asked Christine for the school’s budget.
• Original call intent: Sales/scoping — explore partnering to deliver an AI Flash Lab at Alexander Dawson for a fee. Independent school context = budget likely available.
• Tentative scope (never confirmed with Lane): Flash Lab + possible coaching arc for ~15–20 “high flier” teachers, K/3–8. “Vibe coding” territory per Christine’s framing.
• Next move: Waiting on Lane’s response to the May 12 nudge. If Lane re-engages, restart from discovery.

Current Priorities (assumed)

• New role at Alexander Dawson (started Jul 2025) — driving transformative tech initiatives
• Independent K-12 school context; resources and autonomy are likely more available than public-district peers
• Looking for PD/coaching that lands with teachers, not just admin

Working Style

• Bay Area background (Phillips Brooks, Menlo Park) — likely fluent in Stanford ed-tech orbit
• Long teacher/librarian tenure — comes at tech from a child-first lens, not infrastructure-first

Key Notes

• Open question: budget — Josh asked Christine to confirm before the trio meeting lands
• Independent school audience makes this distinct from the public-district Flash Lab work (Lake Forest, LAUSD)
• Pair with Christine’s PLEX track if a multi-session arc develops
• Watch for the trio meeting invite from Christine
