EmpowerED Superintendent edLeader Panel Broadcast Series

The EmpowerED Superintendents edLeader Panel monthly broadcast series, co-hosted by CoSN, AASA and edWeb.net and sponsored by ClassLink, just wrapped up its fifth season with the May 11 broadcast on “Succeeding with Digital Equity: CoSN’s 2023 Award Winning District’s Leadership Strategies.”

CoSN annually awards a school district with the association’s Community Leadership Award for Digital Equity to honor and recognize those districts that are working to eliminate inequities and narrow the gap when it comes to digital access. Corpus Christi ISD was the recipient of CoSN’s 2023 Community Leadership Award for Digital Equity. The May 11 edLeader Panel broadcast featured AASA member and Corpus Christi ISD Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez, who was joined by Cary Perales, the district’s director of Instructional Technology, and Marilyn Doughty, the district’s director of Technology Services. Dr. Jill Brown, CoSN’s director of Professional Learning, also joined the broadcast panel.
