AL K12 Technology and Cybersecurity Leadership Act
The AL K12 Technology and Cybersecurity Leadership Act became law on July 1, 2024, but its impact goes into effect on October 1.
The bill elevates the state-recognized job title from coordinator to director, describes minimum qualifications for the position, ensures new technology directors complete introductory training and requires all other technology directors to complete 12 hours of professional development annually.
