K-12 technology leaders are facing a difficult reality: expectations continue to rise while budgets, staffing, and resources remain constrained. Technology teams are being asked to support growing cybersecurity requirements, expanding device fleets, cloud applications, AI initiatives, and increasing user expectations, all without adding headcount.
