Predictive Analytics for Schools:
Technology Efficacy and Impact
Tuesday, March 6 | 8:45 am – 10 am
In the past year, members of the Association of Technology Leaders in
Independent Schools (ATLIS) designed and implemented an assessment to
analyze the impact and efficacy of the management of technology programs
from a whole school perspective. They applied augmented intelligence via a
digital decision-making platform and were able to identify the key factors to
success in schools with high scores (program highly aligned with mission).
Learn top takeaways in the areas of academic impact, school operations and
data security.

business officers and IT managers to secure their
sensitive data. Understand the unique cyber security
threats to independent schools and discover best-
practice tips on securing your school's data and
developing a cyber-risk management strategy. Delve

Mobile Crisis Management: Using
Technology to Keep Everyone Safe
Tuesday, March 6 | 2:30 pm –
3:30 pmYour top priority is the safety of your students, faculty
and staff. You may feel that your current crisis plans are
adequate, but it's important to be aware of the problems
that may arise from purely analog communication
systems. Binder-based plan documents can be useful for
training purposes, but in the event of an actual
emergency, when time is the most precious resource, do
all staff and faculty have access to the binder, poster or
emergency flip chart? Learn how to utilize the
technology that students, faculty and staff carry with
them on a daily basis to help keep everyone safe.

Leveraging Technology
Leadership Through Partner
RelationshipsWednesday, March 7 | 8:45 am – 10 am
School administrators often struggle with the
question of which IT functions should be kept in-
house and which should be outsourced. With the
right technology leadership, a balance can be
achieved between outsourcing certain areas and
developing partnerships that blend internal and
external resources. Learn how one school
balanced the outsourcing of its commodity IT
while creating a partnership that leveraged
external expertise and maintained a focus on
educational technology and relationships. Marc Buonocore,

Demystifying PCI
Compliance
For independent schools and their finance
teams, reputation is everything. However,
more and more schools are facing cyber
security threats due to the absences of
clear internal-controls policies, as well as
the implementation of open-source
software and the use of insecure online
payment processors. The risk is high, yet
many school administrators don't know
where to start when it comes to reducing
their risk and ensuring the security of
their information and that of their donors.
Examine the cyber security landscape
facing private education and review
practical steps you can take to mitigate
digital threats to your donor information,
financial records and reputation.
School marketing and communication budgets
are tight. How can school administrators
communicate and market their schools cost
effectively and efficiently? Learn how one
school increased parent engagement by
reviewing marketing strategies and employing
technology. Review opportunities to improve
community relations and discover the specific
ways software and technology have helped
make marketing and communications efficient
and effective.
PCI compliance is a constant concern for
organizations of all sizes. Discover what
PCI compliance means for your school and
how to best approach requirements.
