Over the past year alone, we’ve seen major disruptions; from the a nationwide cyber incident, which exposed sensitive data from tens of millions of students and educators, to the recent growing public concern and confusion around school photography and student data privacy.

While very different in nature, both situations have had the same effect: shaking parent confidence and putting school leaders in an increasingly difficult position when it comes to vendor trust, data governance, and reputational risk.

School districts and administrators are being asked hard questions from parents:
Where is my child’s data stored and who has access?
How quickly would we even know if something went wrong?
Are our school vendor partners truly aligned with our duty of care to students and families?

Join WE LEAD Women in Educational Leadership this Thursday to learn more from Jordan Moore, ICD.D about Privacy, Trust, and Digital Safety in Education.

She couldn’t believe it 😳 A young woman stands calmly in front of the camera, explaining that she is a pilot, while the people around her react with visible shock and disbelief. Some laugh nervously, others question her ability, clearly not used to seeing a woman in that role. Her composed expression contrasts sharply with their reactions, as she continues speaking with quiet confidence despite the doubt and surprise directed at her. The moment feels surreal today, but in 1963, female pilots were extremely rare and often faced open skepticism. Society wasn’t ready to accept women in positions seen as “male,” especially in aviation. That’s what makes this clip so powerful—it captures a real-time clash between outdated expectations and a woman simply proving she belongs.

Research: For Women on Boards, Prestige Can Be a Bottleneck Research on nearly 2,000 FTSE-100 board directors reveals a striking paradox: Women who reach elite board positions are on average more likely than men to receive additional appointments, but that advantage reverses at the most prominent firms, where prestige boosts men’s subsequent opportunities ...

Gloria Steinem has spent more than half a century as one of the most prominent feminist voices in America. A writer, activist, and organizer, she co-founded Ms. magazine in the early '70s and spent decades on the road speaking, marching, and building a movement. Now, at 92, she is still writing and, as she will tell you, still learning. And she still has plenty to say—except, perhaps, about beauty.
