This is the big episode we have been looking forward to for weeks. We sat down with the CEO of Infinite Campus, Charlie Kratsch, and Sean Marlow, Senior VP at Tyler Technologies. This entire episode is dedicated to the recently announced partnership between Tyler and Infinite Campus. We ask questions like, what does migration look like, how many years of data will be imported, what about IEPs, what about court order files, how expensive is Infinite Campus, and the list goes on. We also got a quick tour of Charlie's office and his collection of cool stuff.
We realize that we might not have asked every question that needed to be asked, but we feel like if you are a Tyler SIS customer you will have a much better idea of what to expect over the next few months if you decide to migrate to Infinite Campus.

It is the first week of August, you know what that means... People are showing up to school! We aren't finished with summer projects yet, but teachers are coming back... trying to get classrooms set up and killing our summer vibe! Josh is still cleaning up from his switch project, Mark is worried about students making it to school with the subway shut down, and Chris is worried about the Tyler/Infinite Campus ordeal.
Don't forget to send us your questions for Tyler and Infinite Campus to answer... and maybe a few Star Trek/Wars jokes.

Tonight's episode features an email from listener Bill about a recent DDOS attack on his school. The concerning thing about this attack is that it has happened twice in a week from the same IP address. He is worried they are trying to find his firewall's breaking point.
The majority of this episode is dedicated to an interview with Shahryar Khazei. Shahryar is the former (retired) CIO of LA Unified Schools. He talks about his long career with LA Unified, some of the struggles and accomplishments, and current trends of in K12 IT. We really appreciate the time he spent with us!
