An eye-opening presentation by #Intelesys highlights the growing threats facing K-12 schools: 82% of schools experienced cyber threats in 2023â24, 116 districts were hit by ransomware in 2024, $3.76 million average recovery cost and 12.6 school days lost on average per attack
These numbers reinforce why E-Rate funding is critical. Schools face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats with limited budgets. E-Rate helps make secure network infrastructure and eligible cybersecurity protections affordable. #Cybersecurity #SaveOurERate #CSM
Joseph Wender from @SHLBCoalition delivered an important message on the need to advocate for E-Rate #CSM:
â54,367,186 students would lose internet access in schools and libraries, cutting off their ability to learn and access vital educational resources.â

@LHCSDEarlyLearn & @LasLomasSchool Hero Day! Huge thank you to @APE_Wendy & the Special Olympics team! @whitney_Lahabra @DrCarlosLHCSD @TeckerSheryl @DHSoto #poweredbypurpose
First visit to the @TeslaDiner but no @Tesla_Optimus handing out popcorn. The staff said itâs rarely there now. @elonmusk why was the robot pulled?
This is a mass data collection scheme for training future fully embodied AIâOptimus robot.
Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Teslaâs investment agreement with xAI.
Grok is the master conductor/navigator with deep understanding of the world to direct digital Optimus, which is processing and actioning the past 5 secs of real-time computer screen video and keyboard/mouse actions. Grok is like a much more advanced and sophisticated version of turn-by-turn navigation software.
You can think of it as Digital Optimus AI being System 1 (instinctive part of the mind) and Grok being System 2. (thinking part of the mind).
This will run very competitively on the super low cost Tesla AI4 ($650) paired with relatively frugal use of the much more expensive xAI Nvidia hardware. And it will be the only real-time smart AI system. This is a big deal.
In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies. That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft.
No other company can yet do this.
Dr. JosĂŠ M. Hernandez delivered a powerful keynote at the #CITE2025 Conference, inspiring the room with his journey from the child of migrant field workers to NASA astronaut. His message was clear: preparation, opportunity, and perseverance open doors. He shared his fatherâs recipe for success: define your goal, recognize the distance, create a roadmap, value education, work hard, and never give up. A remarkable reminder of what is possible when determination meets purpose. #lhcsd #poweredbypurpose

In the Rethinking AI Infrastructure: Local LLMs for Safer, Smarter Schools session #CITE2025 @CITE_EDU Discussed how training local LLMs can reduce costs, strengthen data privacy, and give districts more control over AI systems. Explored how AI can streamline HR, IT, business services, and leadership support while enhancing classroom instruction and individualized learning. Exciting possibilities ahead for building smarter and safer AI ecosystems in our schools. #lhcsd #poweredbypurpose
Excited to dive into new ed-tech ideas and connect with colleagues at the #cite2025 conference. Ready to bring fresh insights back to our schools. #lhcsd #poweredbypurpose

"Who stole my art?! @#$%!!" â Thatâs what Holden Stevens of Ladera Palma shouted last year when I took his painting for shows. Now in 2nd grade, Holden is back with another outstanding piece for National Hispanic Heritage Month, showing impressive color choices and skill! #LHCSD

Can you really make magic with just earth tones? Brooklyn Starke, a 5th grader from Ladera Palma, says yesâloud and clear! With warm browns, oranges, and white highlights, she created a powerful Indigenous portrait. Proof a limited palette can speak volumes. #LHCSD #5thGradeArt
