**Executive summary:** Evanston Skokie District 65 implemented a people-first iPad deployment by replacing single-use document cameras with iPad stands, running a diverse pilot to collect unedited educator feedback, integrating Jamf Pro, Microsoft Entra ID and IncidentIQ to automate provisioning and asset tracking, and achieving an 80% staff participation rate while building trust and reducing costs.
