Episode 210 - Tariffs, Special Requests, and Food!

In this episode, we dive into the current issues surrounding technology tariffs and their impact on K-12 education. We explore how these tariffs affect school budgets and procurement processes, providing insights into recent changes and what schools should anticipate moving forward.

A segment is dedicated to addressing the complex topic of managing individual teacher requests for technology upgrades or changes. We share strategies for handling these situations at a district level while balancing the needs of staff and budgetary constraints.

Additionally, the episode features a discussion about a significant lawsuit against Google, where parents accuse the tech giant of tracking students. We analyze the implications of this lawsuit for schools, data privacy, and the responsibilities of districts in safeguarding student information.
