Boston Public Schools CIO Featured in Computerworld Magazine

Recently, Melissa Dodd, the Chief Information Officer of the Boston Public Schools was featured in a Computerworld magazine interview segment called "The Grill".  In the article, Ms. Dodd answers questions about being the CIO of a large school district.  Here is an excerpt of the article, please click on the link to read the rest: 

Melissa P. Dodd speaks passionately about children and the importance of their education. That's not surprising, considering Dodd has a master's degree in education from Harvard University. Dodd opted not to teach, however, and instead chose to support teachers and students through technology. She worked as an educational technology administrator at Tufts University before moving in 2003 to the Boston Public Schools, which serve some 56,000 students. There she started as a technology strategic planner before becoming deputy CIO in 2006 and then CIO in October 2010. Here she shares her ideas on running a large school system's IT department.
