Who runs it
GLET, Georgia's education technology community.
GLET, Georgia Leaders of Educational Technology, was formed in 2004 to help Georgia's K-12 school districts plan for and implement educational and administrative technology, and to advocate for improved student learning and administrative efficiency. It has been the official Georgia state chapter of CoSN, the Consortium for School Networking, since November 2006.
GLET's mission is to give Georgia's school technology leaders the training, resources and shared experiences that strengthen their work and their communities. Its members are the chief technology officers, technology directors and district IT leaders who keep Georgia's schools connected.
K12 Cyber Forward is GLET's own program. GLET designs and operates it, reviews every district request, runs the private portals and convenes the community around them. Learn more at theglet.org.
Who the program serves
Three leaders. One shared plan.
Cyber resilience is shared work. Each leader brings something the plan needs.
Connections that strengthen the program
Rooted in Georgia. Connected nationally.
CyberCon GA
CyberCon GA is GLET's annual cybersecurity conference for Georgia's K-20 technology leaders, focused on elevating cybersecurity protections and preparedness. It is where much of the program's community learning happens in person.
Georgia districts
The program is built for the realities of Georgia's public school districts, from small rural systems to large metro districts, and is shaped by the technology leaders who use it.
Georgia, connected
Every district a little more resilient each year.
One state. One community of practice. Rural systems and metro districts face the same calendars, budgets and threats. K12 Cyber Forward connects Georgia's technology leaders so practical ideas travel from district to district.
- Peer learning at community events and CyberCon GA
- Shared guides, templates and lessons
- District results stay private and are never ranked
Illustrative map: points do not represent specific districts.
Georgia pride. By Georgia educators, for Georgia schools: local law, local partners, local wins.
What we stand for
Six principles that guide every decision.
Supportive, not punitive
Low ratings trigger help, not judgment. Individual district results are never ranked publicly.
Practical
Every rating comes with a next step someone can take this week.
Evidence over checkbox
Proof matters, so the portal does the heavy lifting and people review what is submitted.
Community-driven
Georgia districts learn from and lift each other. GLET convenes; peers teach.
Honest about limits
Reviews are scoped and time-bounded, and nothing in the program is a coverage promise or a certification of controls.
Georgia pride
By Georgia educators, for Georgia schools: local law, local partners, local wins.
Governance and data
How the program protects districts.
The same standards we encourage districts to adopt apply to the program itself.
- Human approvalGLET reviews every participation request before any access is prepared.
- Least privilegeNamed accounts and role-based access; districts see their own records only.
- District controlDistricts decide what goes into the portal and can export or delete it. Privacy notice.
- AccountabilityImportant actions are recorded in an append-only history.
- Georgia hostingThe service runs on a dedicated server in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Separate pool governanceThe optional pool track is governed separately from the improvement program. How the pool works.
