Texas keeps adding evidence requirements to the safety fleet your district already installed: documented twice-yearly checks that the silent panic alert actually broadcasts to all campus staff, that phone systems deliver accurate 9-1-1 location, weekly exterior door records with three-year retention, and a growing list of reporting that flows through TEA's Sentinel system. In the state's own 2024-25 review, 19.20% of school systems did not meet the requirement to perform and document those checks, and 13.47% of campuses lacked compliant panic-alert technology. When the evidence can't be produced, the work lands on technology teams. This session maps the eight required checks against what camera, access-control, and panic systems can actually report, shows where the record breaks (local accounts, per-vendor consoles, no cross-system trail), and walks through a read-only architecture for producing audit-shaped records from the systems you already own.
MyCloud Secure ID streamlines your district’s entire ID process with one powerful, connected solution. Serving as the central hub for your district’s identification needs, MyCloud can connect with the programs you already rely on—including bus tracking, student nutrition, access control, library/media services, HRIS, and more.
Eliminate the need for multiple cards, badges, and disconnected systems. With MyCloud Secure ID, your district can create one branded ID badge that works across your organization.
One student. One staff member. One badge. One connected district.
Your team's time is your most expensive IT asset, and retired devices eat more of it than you think. Learn how districts take IT lifecycle management off their techs' plates. Recovery, data destruction, and serialized reporting, all handled by one partner at zero cost.
Every IT organization has different priorities, legacy commitments, and resource constraints. You don't always need a complete tech overhaul—sometimes you just need to retire 5,000 mixed-brand laptops safely, automate your enrollment logistics, or find rugged, reliable Chromebooks built for student duty.
In this 20-minute presentation, CTL demonstrates how tech leaders can customize their support model. Whether you need one specific capability or an end-to-end lifecycle ecosystem, CTL acts as an extension of your team. Discover how CTL's modular offerings in Hardware, Free Management Software, White-Glove Deployment, and B Corp Certified ITAD allow you to plug CTL into your strategy wherever you need help most.

We will be discussing the value and application of interconnected foundations in special programs management and the implications of our 4 pillar approach of IEP, 504, RTI, and LPAC.
While Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools remain a defensive staple, modern attackers are consistently finding ways to slip past them. This presentation explores the technical reality of these evasions, diving into how advanced techniques like kernel bypasses and process injection are executed across all major operating systems. This session provides practical strategies to counter these evasions by improving visibility across cloud, identity, and network environments.
