About this Webinar

When it comes to digital equity, "good enough" was never good enough.
And now, facing political pressures and funding threats, many districts are being pushed to pull back on the very work that made progress possible.

We’re not backing down. We’re not softening the message.
We’re building stronger, smarter, and more sustainable systems of access — not just to technology, but to opportunity, to excellence, and to transformational learning experiences.

Because devices are only the beginning.
Real digital equity is access to a future students can thrive in.

What You’ll Learn

In this powerful live session, you’ll discover:

  • Why access-first strategies are more critical now than ever — but why they must go beyond devices and bandwidth to address teaching quality, engagement, and student empowerment.

  • How the CONNECT™ Framework can move your district from reactive to resilient, creating lasting, measurable outcomes for students and staff.

  • A first look at our brand-new Digital Equity Course — a step-by-step guide to designing, building, and sustaining meaningful digital access and educational transformation.

Why You Can’t Afford to Miss This 
FREE Webinar

Schools that wait for the “perfect moment” or a "return to normalcy" to recommit to equity will leave their students behind. Now is the time to act — smartly, strategically, and unapologetically.


You'll leave this webinar:

  • Armed with real strategies to sustain access, excellence, and innovation.

  • Connected to a network of leaders who aren’t backing down either.

Like that famous quote from The Wolf of Wall Street — we’re not leaving. We're not backing down from what our students deserve.
We’re here to stay, to build, and to win.


Join us.

You’re not alone.
You’re not powerless.
And you’re definitely not leaving.

Join the movement. Protect the mission. Build the future.
