Under Pressure: The Hidden Costs of Chaos in K-12 IT

Technology teams in K-12 are managing more devices, systems, and responsibilities than ever – often without the resources or tools to match. This panel brings together district leaders to examine the operational challenges that come with today’s device-heavy environments and the systems (or lack of them) that support them.

We’ll cover:

• How 1:1 programs have increased complexity across the board
• The rising cost of device loss, duplication, and audit gaps
• Strategic visibility, ownership, and accountability
• Why disconnected MDMs, spreadsheets, and workarounds are no longer sustainable
• What high-functioning teams are doing to gain better visibility and control
• The mental load of managing chaotic systems and disconnected data

Whether you’re re-evaluating your asset management process, looking to reduce manual overhead, or planning your next tech cycle, this discussion offers insights you can take back to your team.

Walk away with a clearer picture of what’s working, what’s not, and where IT leaders are focusing next.

Who Should Attend:

District CTOs, IT Directors, EdTech Leads, Tech Support Managers, and school operations teams dealing with asset management, device rollouts, audits, or edtech integrations.
