Leadership Summit 2024

This session will show how the E-rate program is bridging the digital divide with off-campus Wi-Fi hotspots, school bus Wi-Fi, and the FCC’s cybersecurity pilot program. These initiatives keep students connected beyond the classroom and secure the networks they rely on. State leaders will learn how to leverage these opportunities to improve connectivity and enhance cybersecurity across their districts.

Join Rob Stratton (VP of Learning Innovation, SAFARI Montage) and Dr. Shannon Terry (VP, National Strategic Accounts, SAFARI Montage) for a conversation on how to support and facilitate effective and efficient instruction with the seamless delivery of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) to districts across your state. Discussion questions to include: How does your state currently manage the alignment of instructional content and resources to state academic standards? What platforms or repositories do you currently use to manage enterprise content management and digital textbook distribution, and what do you find most effective about them? What trends or future developments do you anticipate in managing academic standards and aligning instructional content?

Cybersecurity and data privacy continue to rank highest in surveys of K-20 tech leaders. Modern schools use upwards of hundreds of 3rd party online resources, each loaded with student identity data, making the risk of data breaches higher than ever. Data Masking changes the game. With Data Masking, schools reduce breach risk by never sending the data in the first place.
