“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

I’m proud that Clever actively invests in DE&I by improving our inclusivity and driving multiple workstreams that produce results and deliver meaningful change.

This past year, my favorite memory was creating a Hispanic Heritage Month promo video with a fellow Cleverite in our HOLA ERG, as it brought visibility to the ERG and fostered company-wide collaboration!
