Testimonials
“I hired Kathy to conduct an assessment of the administrative and instructional technology in the three districts of SAU 39. She conducted the assessment in a very professional manner, scheduling interviews, recording and compiling data, and seeking clarity and history whenever necessary. The result was a well-balanced assessment of our infrastructure and resources, both human and technical. Her insight into the use of technology, both current and potential, was excellent. The report she wrote is both professional and complete, including expert analysis and well-reasoned recommendations. Her assessment will serve as a valuable tool for the districts’ technology staff and will provide a realistic and forward-thinking blueprint for improving the districts’ use of technology.”

“It is always a pleasure to write a recommendation for someone you respect and admire, and Kathleen McClaskey is that person.
“Kathleen seems always to be a few steps ahead of most school districts. She frequently thinks into the future and accurately depicts necessary changes to meet developing needs, often before most districts know there is a need. Her high intellect, her understanding of the nuances necessary to be successful in these rapidly changing times and her strong work ethic have positioned her to be a recognized leader in the state.”

“As the Director of Pupil Personnel Services and responsible for a number of departments with varying technology needs, I was delighted to discover that Mrs. McClaskey was able to provide me with a reasonable, comprehensive and cost effective series of short- and long-term solutions. Her ability to understand that our day to today operation and our department goals and vision were not to be ‘a slave to technology’ but that improved skill levels, software and hardware allowed us to serve clients more efficiently. This ability to understand the mission and passion of the staff came naturally as her school experience extends to curriculum, direct student/teacher/parent interaction and extensive experience in the area of school support services.”
