Fractional CIO & Technology Advisory

Executive technology leadership for schools, without a full-time hire.

We bring CIO-level guidance on governance, risk and AI strategy to schools and education organizations, so leaders and boards can make technology decisions with confidence.

Solving the capacity gap

School technology teams are asked to run operations, infrastructure, cybersecurity, compliance, budgets and strategy at the same time. Long-term planning and governance are usually what slip. It isn’t always a capability problem. More often, it’s a capacity problem.

TEDV is led by Dr. Monika Davis, former CIO of Georgia’s third-largest school district, with 5+ years leading district technology, including interim terms. We add executive capacity where schools need it most: strategy, governance, risk and board-level support. We don’t do technical maintenance; we help you see where you stand and plan where you’re going.
