I am the IT Director for Fargo Public Schools in Fargo, North Dakota. I have been with Fargo Schools for 22 years. I have never been a teacher.

Fargo Schools has had a 1:1 program in the high schools for the past 4 years, and an in-school 1:1 program for the middle schools for the past 2. For our 1:1 students who take their device home, we provide home internet access for families that qualify.
