Location: Chicago 7
Cybersecurity Leadership & Vision
Cloud services are now central to how schools and districts operate—but are they always the right choice? This panel brings together technology leaders and and members of the COSN CIRCUITS Advisory Committee to explore the current state of cloud computing in K-12, including benefits, limitations, and cost considerations. Panelists will share practical frameworks for deciding when cloud services make sense—and when they don’t. Learn how to evaluate vendor offerings, assess risks, and ensure alignment with your organization’s strategy. The session will also highlight free COSN evaluation tools and resources to support informed decision-making.
