Rethinking School Communication for Emergencies and Everyday Use

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

School safety expectations are evolving rapidly—and so are the tools districts use to respond.
In this session, IT leaders from IDEA Public Schools, Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD, and Sharyland ISD share how they designed and deployed modern communication systems that support both emergency response and everyday operations. You’ll hear how their teams approached Alyssa’s Law compliance, integrated AI-powered tools, and built systems that can instantly reach staff and students through multiple channels.
Beyond the technology, this session focuses on what actually works in real districts: funding strategies, implementation challenges, and lessons learned along the way. Attendees will leave with practical insights on how to create faster, more reliable communication systems that improve safety without adding complexity.

Pre K-12 Educators, Librarians, Media Specialists, Technology Specialists, Curriculum Specialists, Deans, Counselors, Principals, Assistant Principals, District Technology Directors, District Curriculum Directors, District Bilingual/ELL Directors, District GT Directors, District SPED Directors, Computer Technicians, Higher Ed are welcome! *Megabyte districts attend for FREE*
