Thank you to the many administrative professionals who keep the SCRIC running smoothly each day. We appreciate everything you do! #Collaboration #Character #CaringCommunity

Last week, members of the South Central RIC attended the 5th Annual RIC One Data Privacy and Security Service (DPSS) Conference, an event which brings Data Protection Officers and data privacy experts from across New York together for a time of connecting, learning and collaborating. Our team did a great job representing both the SCRIC and various statewide collaborative groups by helping to plan, co-leading sessions, and more!

We love supporting our districts by providing regular application trainings. Check out our upcoming SchoolTool learning opportunities for February. For more information or to register, visit: https://www.scric.org/page/trainings

We love the Broome-Tioga BOCES holiday breakfast! It's a great way to connect with each other and celebrate the season! #CaringCommunity #Character





Look at all those smiling faces enjoying the first-annual SCRIC Friendsgiving! It was a great time to enjoy good food, connect with our colleagues, and celebrate the many things we are thankful for!

And that’s a wrap! We had a fantastic day learning, connecting, and networking. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!








🎁Did someone say free swag? 😄 We have a wide array of vendors at the Leadership and Innovation Showcase who provide services and solutions that include cloud-based applications ☁️, technology equipment 💻📱, cybersecurity protection 🔒🛡️, AI and data-driven solutions 🤖📊 and more! Thank you, vendors, for your support of this event!





🤔It’s hard to decide on a breakout session to attend when there are so many great options! This morning, we explored topics like building supportive networks, what creates student success at the VLA, real-life strategies used by educators to meaningfully integrate AI into the classroom 🤖 🧑🏫, and one district’s successful unification of data.





🙌 What an unbelievable keynote session by AWS Education Leader Annmarie Lehner. 🎤 She challenged educators and leaders to be innovation-ready by making space for technology and innovation. To help with this preparation, she shared a powerful, practical framework 🧱 that guides districts in embracing digital transformation while ensuring student safety. 🌐 🔐



👋 Welcome, technology leaders! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share innovative ideas for leveraging technology in education, celebrate technology successes in our districts, and provide you with invaluable resources.





It was a beautiful fall day at Unatego Central School District and a great morning for a cybersecurity tabletop exercise! District administration, in partnership with the Data Security & Privacy Coordination service, went through the Game of CIRP for a productive and thoughtful training. Happy Cybersecurity Awareness Month!


When you enable MFA, you disable the hackers. Even quick solutions like multi-factor authentication are a strong defense. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #CaringCommunity #Character #CustomerFocused #EdTech

Using the same password for everything might be easy to remember, but it’s also easy to hack. Storing multiple passwords in one password manager is stronger and more secure. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #CaringCommunity #Character #CustomerFocused #EdTech

We’re proud to celebrate our partnership with the DCMO BOCES CTE program! Through this collaboration, SCRIC managers Jalene and Bruce connect with students as juniors and seniors to share career opportunities, participate in career fairs, host mock interviews, and even take part in signing ceremonies when graduates join our team.
Pictured here are three recent graduates who have just been hired at the SCRIC, alongside two former CTE students who have been with us for years—including one who was recently promoted.
This partnership has created a pipeline of talented, motivated individuals who are making an impact at the SCRIC, and we are grateful for the continued success of this program. #FutureReady #TechCareers #InvestingintheFuture #EdTech #Character #CaringCommunity #Continuouslearning #Collaboration

Scam? Reported. Software? Updated. Multifactor authentication? Turned on. Passwords? Strong and in a vault. The #SouthCentralRIC is an official Champion, and we are ready for #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth. #CaringCommunity #Character #CustomerFocused #EdTech

Maine-Endwell was the next district to undertake the Game of CIRP, presented by the #SouthCentralRIC Data Privacy and Coordination service. It was a morning full of great conversation, as district administration delved into cybersecurity scenarios with our gamified tabletop exercise! #DataSecurityandPrivacy #IncidentResponse #SecurityFirst #Collaboration #Continuouslearning #Character #CustomerFocused


Our 28th Annual BOCES Golf Tournament was a blast! This outing is a great opportunity for staff, past and present, as well as their friends and family to connect and build relationships. It’s also a chance for vendors to network with our districts as they participate in the event and provide prizes for our best teams. #CaringCommunity #Character #Collaboration
