CIO-Information Technology

Best Practice

Davidson Services was hired to create a strategic information technology plan to support the Anchorage School District's mission to "educate students for success in life." The plan would:

• provide ASD with a road map for efficient delivery of critical resources to support is mission
• reflect a K-12 enterprise-wide vision for information technology
• create a framework to assist ASD in evaluating future technology initiatives and related costs.

Davidson Services conducted a series of workshops and interviews with key leadership, instructional, administrative and technical staff to understand the district's vision for information technology and how it is used to support instruction, administration and operations. Findings and recommendation resulting from the information collected and analysis performed was developed and supported through best practices and emerging trends within the education marketplace.
