Seattle, WA (April 3, 2025) – CoSN, a premier association of K-12 education technology leaders, honored Murray City School District (UT) with the 2025 Community Leadership Award for Digital Access. Murray City School District has developed and implemented a solution to ensure students are able to continue learning despite facing housing instability. Not only have they addressed a need in their community, they have created a solution that may be expanded to other districts.

The CoSN Community Leadership Award for Digital Access recognizes those districts that are working to eliminate inequities and narrow the access gap. Student access to robust digital tools is key to their success as 21st-century citizens. Yet many students from economically disadvantaged families have limited access to these tools both at school and at home. Clearly, there is a great deal of work that needs to be done. Closing the gap will require a broad approach involving schools and communities working together.

“Our students navigate a variety of complex challenges, and we are committed to a culture that leverages emerging technologies that elevate learning and personal growth. This award is an honor and validates our deeply held belief that innovative solutions can remove barriers and help students both adapt and thrive,” said Jason Eyre, CETL®, Technology Department Coordinator, Murray City School District.
