Today’s District IT departments are grappling Presented By: Justin Venard - Mesa Public
with some of the most complex technology Schools
challenges in any industry. After successfully
navigating the past decade of ramping up In-
ternet connectivity for schools, rapid campus
Wi-Fi rollouts, mandatory testing initiatives, 3:00 PM
the rise of BYOD, the shift from PC to lap-
top to tablet to “any device,” (and that’s just Wrap-Up - Open Discussion
the short list!), it’s no wonder Districts are
increasingly turning to their IT Departments
with problems big and small, and with only
the highest of expectations. Today’s School 4:30 PM
IT Environment is no longer confined within Cisco Customer Mixer
the campus walls. Thanks to 1:1 initiatives,
cloud-based curriculum, and the growing

quirements. Beyond devices, user needs for
universally accessible data are increasing ex-
ponentially. Strategies for delivering IT ser-
vices securely and consistently will be the fo-
cus for this workshop.
