In this issue of ATPE News, we cover the growing threat of cyberattacks in public schools and how one district is giving today's students the tools to combat tomorrow's cyber threats:

• Teaching the Next Generation of Cyberprofessionals—Check out North East ISD's big investment in a cybersecurity curriculum: an impressive new facility that is both addressing the needs of a growing local tech industry and training students to fill jobs within it.
• Ransomware on the Rise—What is causing a new wave of ransomware attacks on schools, and what can be done about it? Learn how and why school districts are targeted and what you can do to protect personal information—your own and that of your students—from cyberthreats.
• 2022 ATPE Summit—After two virtual ATPE Summits, we are more than ready to leave our computer screens behind and gather in Grapevine for the biggest reunion ATPE members have ever seen. Check out the agenda, meet the candidates for 2022-23 state office, and find out how to attend.
