As the technology leader of [insert school district], it is my duty to ensure the digital safety and security of our students, staff, and infrastructure. In light of ever-increasing cyber threats, I request your permission to attend the premiere cybersecurity-focused event for Georgia K-12 institutions: CyberCon 2025 (Cyberconga).

Cyber risks targeting schools are rising, making it essential for our technology leadership to stay updated on the latest cybersecurity trends. Attending the conference will provide insights into new developments in the field, helping us adapt our security measures accordingly.

Moreover, the conference offers a valuable opportunity to collaborate with peers from other school systems and industry leaders. Such collaboration will allow the exchange of experiences and strategies, enhancing security awareness across the state. By sharing best practices, we can collectively create a safer educational environment.

With the knowledge gained, our technology leadership can implement advanced security measures within our district. This proactive approach will mitigate potential cyber risks and protect our data and systems.

Georgia's CoSN chapter - GLET (The Glet) - feels so strongly about the benefits of this conference that they have made both membership in this important organization and attendance at this conference free of charge. The only cost to the district is my attendance and one overnight hotel stay.

In conclusion, attending the conference is a strategic investment in the safety and security of our school district. The insights and knowledge gained will have a profound and positive impact on our cybersecurity posture, ensuring a safer environment for our students and staff.

Thank you for considering this proposal.
