Established in 2013, NATA (Nebraska Association of Technology Administrators) serves as a collaborative hub for educational technology leaders across Nebraska. Representing 18 of the state’s largest districts, NATA focuses on policy advocacy, professional development, and engagement with state and national entities to advance educational technology leadership and best practices.
In December 2024, NATA and a group of Nebraska K12 CTOs, CIOs, and Technology Directors in smaller districts/regions or not previously associated with NATA worked together to establish CoSNE (Consortium for School Networking Nebraska). This effort united all Nebraska K12 Technology Leaders, which was recognized by the CoSN Board on February 19, 2025. CoSNE is advancing the focus on policy advocacy, professional development, and engagement with state and national entities to advance educational technology leadership and best practices for every K12 Technology Leader across Nebraska.
