Specific Upgrades for KISD Teachers during COVID-19
Many companies are offering "free" or "upgrades" to customers and new clients to their resources. While some are truly free, many require set-up from the district-level, some require credit card information, and some are unfortunately scams to gather your information. As we have them approved, we will be sharing Upgraded Software, Resources, etc. here.
