As the education space continues to evolve, transformations, disruptions and trends are shaping districts and schools across the country.

The widespread adoption of technology has put some districts on the cutting edge of innovation while placing others further behind their counterparts. Heightened school safety concerns, combined with recent incidents of violence, have thrown certain school systems into a growing dialogue on how to shift the narrative. And as issues including low teacher salaries and insufficient funding persist, some districts are forced to deal with the educators who are begging for something to change.

As each of these conversations continue to progress, a number of districts have stood out for a variety of reasons.
