Join EdWeek Market Brief’s editorial team as we take our audience inside our recent reporting on topics that matter to education organizations across the K-12 market. In this quarterly briefing, we’ll look at major issues affecting school privacy and cybersecurity, and how macro forces in the market are shaping the environment for company mergers and acquisitions and public offerings. We’ll also take your questions and give our readers a sense of where our reporting is heading next.
Here’s what’s specifically on the agenda:
- Staff Writer Michelle Caffrey will discuss the recent run of industry consolidation in the marketplace, and what it signals about the challenges ahead for education providers. She will also talk about major companies choosing to leave public markets to become private companies.
- Staff Writer Alexandria Ng will take our audience inside the process of “red teaming,” in which education companies hire experts who know hacking to try to test their systems’ vulnerabilities and prevent future cyberattacks.
- Managing Editor Sean Cavanagh will talk about the Kids Online Safety and Privacy Act, a major piece of legislation moving through Congress that would establish new regulations on social media and update federal student data privacy laws.
Join our team for the discussion, and bring your questions and insights to the topics.
