5 Steps To Reviewing Your Digital Learning Ecosystem and Preparing Your 2025-2026 Budget

As instructional technology, finance, and IT teams review edtech investments and plan for the next budget cycle, the end of ESSER funding adds a new challenge. With tighter budgets, making strategic, data-driven decisions is more critical than ever.


To help streamline this process, our in-house experts at Lightspeed Systems® and K-12 district leaders created a five-step guide to maximize impact, optimize spending, and ensure technology best supports learners and educators.

“This is a fantastic document. The steps outlined will be helpful for any instructional technology team. I like that it includes making sure tech is interoperable with district infrastructure and data privacy policies.”
