“It was definitely the ‘Department of No’ when I got here. It’s a lot easier to maintain systems when you just get to say, ‘No, we’re just going to do Office, and we’re not going to do Google. We’re just going to support Apple products and not Apple and Dell.’ But is that really what’s best for our students?”

Eva Rodriguez Mendoza

CTO, San Antonio Independent School District

“The role of the CTO in schools has evolved from a job description to a strategic leadership position. As technology’s impact grows, so do the threats—leading many districts to create senior tech roles that didn’t exist before.”

Keith Kruger

CEO, Consortium for School Networking (CoSN)

“Instead of being the ‘Department of No,’ tech leaders should be the ‘Department of Know’—fostering collaboration and finding creative ways to make new technologies work safely for students.”

Mark Racine

Former CTO, Boston Public Schools

“Clever’s SSO and Rostering integration has been invaluable for our district customers like Allen ISD and Bellevue School District, streamlining access, automating rostering, reducing support tickets, and simplifying IT processes for staff and students alike.”

Nicki Rodriguez

Vice President of Customer Success, x2VOL by intelliVOL

“Keeping student identities secure is an uphill battle, especially with AI amplifying cyber threats and schools being prime targets.”

Kristin Bowling

Director of Technology Services, Enterprise Elementary School District in CA

“The growing adoption of AI in K-12 schools brings exciting opportunities for teaching and learning, but also introduces new considerations for district technology leaders.”

Julia Fallon

Executive Director, SETDA

“Automation, combined with threat intelligence, is the single biggest thing that can be done to improve the state of K-12 security.”

Corey Lee

Security CTO at Microsoft Education

“When I presented the statistics on daily attacks to district leaders, eyes went wide—people didn’t realize the scale of what we face every day.”

Neal Kellogg

Digital Procurement and Data Privacy at Oklahoma City Public Schools
