🌍♻️ New EDU Café Episode 🎙️

What if every technology purchase your district made could tell a story about sustainability, stewardship, and smarter investments for students?

In this episode of EDU Café, we sit down with Louis McDonald, Project Manager for CoSN and retired CTO from Fauquier County Public Schools in Virginia, to discuss the recently released Sustainable Procurement Guidelines, developed by CoSN in partnership with SETDA and UDT.

Louis shares why sustainability isn’t just about being “green”; it’s about being smart with resources, extending device lifespans, reducing e-waste, and saving districts millions of dollars. He talks about practical strategies, vendor partnerships, and how district leaders can take small, meaningful steps toward big impact.

💡 Key topics:

  • Balancing financial, device, and environmental sustainability
  • Six focus areas for measurable change
  • How procurement language shapes vendor accountability
  • Building collaboration across IT, finance, procurement, and facilities

Every purchase tells a story. What story is your district writing?
