K-12 IT leaders play a critical role in enabling digital learning. But maintaining reliable infrastructure across campuses with limited staff, aging equipment, and growing demands isn’t getting any easier.

From outdated UPS systems to power disruptions and rising energy costs, the risks to learning continuity are real — and often hidden in plain sight.

Join the Center for Digital Education and experts from Schneider Electric (APC) for a timely webinar focused on strengthening the resilience of your district’s IT environment. We’ll share practical steps to modernize your power and cooling infrastructure, optimize your eligibility for E-rate funding, and access a free Power Infrastructure Assessment designed to identify vulnerabilities before they become outages.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to align infrastructure upgrades with current E-rate eligibility requirements
  • Ways to improve uptime, energy efficiency, and operational reliability district-wide
  • What’s included in the free Power Infrastructure Assessment—and how to request yours
  • How other school systems are addressing infrastructure gaps

Whether you’re budgeting for a refresh, responding to increased digital demand, or planning long-term improvements, this session will give you actionable insights to build a more resilient, future-ready IT foundation—without overextending your team or your budget.
