School technology leaders are concerned about whether districts are prepared to give online exams, the security of student data and having enough funding to meet the demands of district leaders.

That's according to a new national survey conducted by the Consortium for School Networking, a professional association for district technology leaders. Each year the group surveys education technology professionals to determine how the field is changing.

According to the 2015 survey released this week, less than 30 percent of those surveyed said they are fully prepared for online assessments, which are coming to districts around the country – including those in Georgia – this year. More than half reported they don’t have enough money to meet the expectations of school boards and district leaders, and more are increasingly concerned about the privacy of student data.

The group is hosting its 2015 conference in Atlanta this week. To read the rest of the survey results, click here.
