AI is showing up in every vendor pitch right now. But what’s actually working inside real school IT departments — and what’s still a long way off?

In this candid panel discussion hosted by Carl Hooker, K-12 technology leaders cut through the hype and get specific: where AI is already saving time, what your data and systems need to look like before AI can help, and how to build your team’s readiness without overhauling everything at once.

You’ll walk away with a clear-eyed view of:

• What AI in K-12 IT actually looks like today, beyond the marketing
• Where the real time savings are: ticket triage, device forecasting, and routine automation
• What your infrastructure needs to have in place before AI tools can deliver
• How to build AI fluency on your team without adding to already-full plates
• The honest answer to “where do we even start?”

Perfect for CTOs, Technology Directors, and IT leaders who want a practical, no-fluff roadmap for AI in their district operations.
