Dysart IT head earns honor

Dysart Unified School District’s Director of Information Technology Evan Allred, has been recognized by the National School Boards Association’s “20 to Watch.”

Allred is the only person from Arizona recognized for this honor. 

The NSBA Technology Leadership Network recognizes its “20 to Watch” recipients as emerging leaders in education technology.  According to NSBA, “These individuals are recognized by the organization for championing technology initiatives that makes a difference for students, teachers, school district and the greater education technology community.”

Allred was chosen through a national search which identified individuals who show the creativity and collaboration that embraces technology to enhance learning for students, inspire colleagues, transform operation and engage communities.  Since joining Dysart in 2001, Allred has made using technology to gain 21st century skills a priority for the district.

The 20 technology leaders will be recognized at NSBA’s annual Technology Learning Conference Oct. 28–30.  For information about the NSBA “20 to Watch,” visit www.nsba.org/t+l.
