Since 1992, the Kentucky Education Technology System has been a national leader in educational technology for public school districts. A vital part of that effort has been strong partnerships with individuals and groups that continue to assist in the mission to provide students, staff, and families with quality educational technology service.
Named after the late William E. Stilwell, Ph.D., the Stilwell Award is presented to those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in education technology. For this year, a commemorative coin has been commissioned to be presented to those who have shown their commitment to education technology.
