At the Learning Futures & Tech Media Meeting, hosted at Florence Unified School District, education leaders came together to share what progress looks like on the ground—across technology, leadership, and innovation.

Moderated by LeiLani Cauthen, this panel brings together voices from across Arizona to reflect on a simple but powerful question: What are you most proud of right now?

Featuring Tracey Rowley of Tucson Unified School District, Chris Knutsen of Florence Unified School District, and Crystal Danzy of Roosevelt School District #66, the discussion highlights how districts are navigating change in very different—but equally meaningful—ways.

Tracey shares how Tucson USD has taken a leadership role in artificial intelligence, bringing together voices from across the district to develop one of the first AI policies in Southern Arizona—and now scaling that work through systemwide training. Chris reflects on the strength of culture in Florence USD, where high staff retention and a thoughtful, inclusive approach to AI adoption are helping move the district forward. And Crystal speaks to the courage of reimagining school itself—embracing innovation and redesigning learning experiences to better serve today’s students.

Together, their perspectives offer a candid look at how districts are balancing stability and change—building systems that support people while preparing for what’s next.
