K–12 IT leaders are increasingly using the spring months as a critical planning window for summer technology projects, when schools typically carry out major upgrades such as replacing aging hardware, deploying cybersecurity tools, and modernizing infrastructure while buildings are less occupied. This planning phase involves evaluating which systems to retire or extend, aligning budgets and procurement timelines, and ensuring projects support both security requirements and classroom needs. Experts emphasize prioritizing core systems such as firewalls and cybersecurity platforms, particularly those nearing end-of-life or lacking active support, while also reassessing endpoint devices and broader network vulnerabilities, given the high value of student data and growing insurance and compliance pressures. IT teams are also encouraged to consolidate overlapping tools through detailed feature analysis to reduce costs and complexity without increasing risk, and to use data such as support ticket trends and usage metrics to identify underperforming or unnecessary systems.

A new Trump administration-backed report has outlined a potential overhaul of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), calling for a narrower research focus, faster data delivery, and closer alignment with the practical needs of schools. While some reforms could be implemented internally, more significant changes would require congressional approval, which remains unlikely given political divisions. The Institute is attempting to stabilize after major layoffs in 2025, with modest rehiring and budget preservation offering some recovery, but experts warn that rebuilding staff capacity is essential for any meaningful transformation. Stakeholders broadly support the report’s recommendations, including prioritizing key national challenges and improving research usability, but question whether the agency can execute them without sufficient resources and bipartisan backing.
