ACPE 2025 - Include IT

Ensuring equitable, safe, and effective technology use across K-12 schools is a delicate
balance between district-level compliance, implementation fidelity, and the local
control necessary for - and desired by - individual schools, principals, and teachers. This
presentation will explore how school districts can implement scalable, policy-driven
filtering, internet access, and classroom management while maintaining the autonomy
of educators to tailor learning environments that meet their students’ needs.
Our session will highlight best practices and tools that enable district-wide oversight while
empowering local decision-makers, including:
-Granular content filtering & internet access policies that ensure compliance
with district and state mandates while allowing site-based flexibility.
-Classroom management solutions that provide real-time visibility and
engagement tools for teachers without sacrificing district IT security protocols.
-Delegation models for EdTech leaders that blend instructional pedagogy with
IT and administrative needs, ensuring effective technology integration.
-Shared responsibility frameworks that involve principals, teacher leaders,
and IT admins in implementing policies that enhance student safety and digital
citizenship.
We will provide a blueprint for districts to achieve compliance and security while
respecting the diverse needs of individual school sites.
Attendees will leave with actionable strategies and insights into how instructional leaders,
IT teams, and administrators can collaborate effectively to foster a safe and
productive digital learning ecosystem.
We look forward to engaging with the audience in a meaningful discussion on balancing
inclusivity, security, and educational flexibility in the modern K-12 digital landscape.
