Great Collaboration on very important work!

MassCUE sent two representatives to Ed Tech Advocacy Day 2026 in Washington, D.C. today, April 30, 2026.

Board members Corey Mello and Kendyl Brooks Santos joined Jim Flanagan, Executive Director of METAA, and METAA board member John Collins to meet with Members of Congress and national education leaders — championing priorities that matter most to Massachusetts educators and students.

Highlights included a meeting with Congressman Bill Keating, discussing how federal policy can better support technology-enabled learning in Massachusetts.

From E-Rate and digital equity to AI in education, student data privacy, and cybersecurity, our voices were part of a national conversation about the future of learning.

Grateful for the opportunity to advocate alongside colleagues from CoSN, SETDA, SIIA, and ISTE. Our students and educators deserve nothing less.

They say leadership requires a unified vision. We prefer to cover all 360 degrees at once.

The METAA Conference Committee has descended upon the hotel for final prepping and testing….and having some fun doing it! We’ve checked the bandwidth, the breakout rooms, and the proximity of the nearest exits (for legal reasons, of course).

See you on March 19th and 20th for the Conference. We’d tell you which way to go, but as you can see, we’re still debating that ourselves.

METAA members already knew this, but our MA Tech Directors listserv is an amazing and supportive online community. We are proud to see it recognized in this article by Ellen Ullman of EdSurge.

More district tech leaders rely on listservs and other private networks to navigate their jobs, which have grown more complex.
