by on Open for Input: National Cybersecurity Survey
The Speak Up National Cybersecurity Survey, a partnership with iboss, focuses on how K-12 school districts are responding to cybersecurity risks and threats. This project is part of a 5-year research effort to help K-12 districts address the real threats of cyberattacks on network infrastructure and data assets. Unlike other surveys on the topic, our focus is on ensuring that you have the best insights to make better decisions. One way we do that is by giving you back your local data. Speak Up also provides you with national comparatives.
This survey is designed to be completed by
K-12 school district technology department leaders.
- All data is 100% protected and confidential
- Takes 13 minutes to complete
- We use only aggregated data for national reporting
- Participants receive the nationally aggregated data results
- Survey open through August 31, 2026.
At the conclusion of the survey, 20 K-12 Technology Leader emails will be randomly selected to receive a $50 Amazon gift card.
