Recently, I was in a meeting with department chairs and administrators at my high school. We were discussing the agenda when the topic of ChatGPT elicited a collective groan. It had only been a few weeks into the semester, and we had already sent dozens of students’ names to administrators to report this new version of plagiarism.

K–12 cybersecurity conversations are happening at the district, state and federal levels. An increase in cyberattacks against schools has leaders re-evaluating security needs, and with that comes concerns about upkeep, funding and legality. All of these aspects were topics of conversation at the Consortium for School Networking’s 2023 conference. Security-focused sessions drew large crowds, and conversations about cybersecurity sprung up in the event’s expo hall and spotlight presentations.

For a young person struggling with mental health, what kind of difference would it make to know they aren’t alone? To know that someone else at school feels the same loneliness or heartache or has the same problems at home? In Diana Chao’s case, it turned out to be lifesaving. At 14 years old, she put all of her pain into letters addressed to no one in particular — pouring out the feelings that led her to attempt to end her own life.
