Tech Advisory Committee Meeting (w/SIS Today and Tomorrow Session after)

The Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) serves as a collaborative forum for technology leaders across NEOnet districts to discuss emerging technologies, strategic initiatives, cybersecurity, infrastructure, educational technology, and operational best practices.

Each meeting provides opportunities to:

• Share district successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
• Review industry trends, legislative and regulatory updates, and emerging technologies that impact K-12 education.
• Discuss cybersecurity, networking, cloud services, AI, data governance, and technology operations.
• Receive updates on NEOnet services, initiatives, and strategic projects.
• Evaluate new products, vendor solutions, and collaborative opportunities.
• Provide feedback that helps shape future NEOnet services, priorities, and member support

Meetings are designed to encourage open discussion, peer networking, and collaborative problem solving while ensuring member districts remain informed about changes affecting educational technology throughout Ohio.

NOTE: The Technology Advisory Committee is open to technology leaders from all NEOnet member districts. Come ready to share ideas, ask questions, and help shape the future of technology services across our region.

POST-MEETING (Optional): SIS Today and Tomorrow: Ohio Landscape and NEOnet Strategy (11:00 AM – 1:00 PM)
Join us following TAC for a collaborative discussion on the current and future landscape of Student Information Systems (SIS) across Ohio and within NEOnet. As district needs, technology capabilities, and the SIS market continue to evolve, this session will provide an opportunity to explore where we've been, where the industry is heading, and how NEOnet is positioning itself for the future.

Discussion topics will include:

1. State of the SIS Landscape: An overview of the current SIS environment across Ohio and within NEOnet.
2. NEOnet's SIS Journey: Where we've been, lessons learned, and how those experiences are shaping our direction.
3. What Districts Need from an SIS: Identifying key requirements, challenges, and priorities for districts.
4. Where the SIS Market Is Going: Exploring emerging trends in technology, integrations, data, artificial intelligence, and evolving district expectations.
5. NEOnet's SIS Strategy and Next Steps: Sharing our current direction, strategic considerations, and anticipated path forward.
6. District Discussion and Q&A: An open forum for questions, feedback, and perspectives to help inform future decisions.

Whether your district is evaluating SIS options, considering future transitions, or simply interested in understanding the changing landscape, this session offers an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion and help shape NEOnet's approach to supporting districts moving forward.

IMPORTANT SCHEDULING UPDATE: The previously scheduled Cybersecurity Working Session has been moved to the optional post-meeting session following the December TAC meeting. We encourage districts interested in cybersecurity collaboration, including discussions surrounding Ohio HB 96, to join us in December.

LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED AT 11:00 AM.
