This organizational chart depicts the chain of command from the district central office to the campus
level. It all begins with the board of trustees, who make all the major decisions regarding school policy,
curriculum, expenses, and expansion. It is the school board members, working collaboratively, who elect
the superintendent as its CEO.
The superintendent is instrumental in ensuring the district’s operations are handled appropriately,
according to state and federal laws. He also leads the various district leaders, including the assistant
superintendents and chief technology officer, each of whom direct their specific areas in accordance to
the district policies set forth by Dr. Waddell and the school board.

2. Barbara Brown serves as the Chief Technology for the district. Her position, is leading the direction of
the technology department through:
David Oestreicher and his team of systems analysts and campus facilitators – responsible for the
infrastructure in all campuses, (bandwidth, equipment, etc.)
Dianna Martinez and her team of instructional technologists – responsible for providing
assistance, guidance, and instruction to campus teachers and staff in implementing technology
tools and programs into the curriculum
Deborah Largent and her team of informational technologists – supporting staff and faculty in
the data service applications (online gradebook, PEIMS applications, Skyward, etc.)
The principals, who report directly to their appropriate Zone Leader, must ensure that the faculty and
staff adhere to the specific guidelines set forth by the technology department, including, but not limited
to:
ensuring teachers instructstudents (and evaluate them) using the technology checkpoint list
delivered to teachers from the instructional technologists
ensuring teachers import lesson plans and follow district curriculum placed on eduphoria,
including the embedded technology TEKS for each subject area
ensuring teachers and campus attendance clerks use skyward (previously Zangle) for student
attendance and PEIMS information
ensuring faculty take both sessions of the technology standards (A & B), as well as the
Integration That Works course via LOLA, (our online knowledge database)
ensuring the faculty and staff initiate technology work orders via eduphoria, as to streamline the
process for the networking/systems department scheduling
