Bridging the Divide, Changing the Story
Jean-Claude Brizard (CEO of the Chicago Public
Schools) and panelists Melissa Dodd (CIO of the
Boston Public Schools) and Manuel Isquierdo
(Superintendent of Arizona’s Sunnyside Unified
Schools) will describe the ways in which innovation,
supported by technology, is transforming the lives of

districts can—and must—stay the course when it
comes to ensuring access to 21st century technologies.
