Technology Risk Is a Board Problem. Is Your District Ready?

What would happen if your district's technology failed tomorrow? Who is accountable, what is the recovery plan, and does your board have enough visibility to make decisions under pressure? For most districts, that conversation has not happened yet. Technology risk lives in the IT department and surfaces at the board level only after something goes wrong. This round table discussion brings together superintendents, cabinet members and senior district leaders to examine one focused question: What does board-level technology governance look like in a well-run district, and how do you build it without pulling your board into daily operations? Built around real scenarios, shared challenges and practical governance structures, this peer-level conversation explores what strong oversight looks like and what questions boards should be asking now. Leave with a governance readiness self-assessment covering cybersecurity oversight, vendor accountability, AI policy, data privacy and board reporting; board-level questions to open the conversation without creating alarm; and a one-page framework for quarterly technology reporting, all ready to use at your next board meeting.
