I am Chief Information Officer for Wichita Public Schools, the largest school district in Kansas. Our District serves 50,000 students with 94 schools and programs and employs nearly 10,000 professionals. In addition to overseeing technology and instructional technology, I started and now oversee our virtual school, Education Imagine Academy, which achieved this year Microsoft Showcase School status. In addition, I helped start and now oversee an esports program in all of our secondary schools. The District’s mission is to inspire future leaders and empower each student with the 21st century skills and knowledge necessary for success.
