Vertex Education

We’re proud to be at the 2026 PDE Data Summit this week at the Hershey Lodge & Convention Center, and we’re excited about this year’s theme: “Turning Data Into Action: Because Every Student Deserves a Hero.” At its core, this theme captures what drives our work every day: helping school leaders move beyond data collection and into meaningful, student-centered action. Data only matters when it leads to better decisions, stronger support systems, and real outcomes for students. That’s where we come in. Our integrated services help schools take action across multiple areas: ✔️ Enrollment & retention ✔️ Strategic finance ✔️ HR & talent acquisition ✔️ NSLP compliance & funding ✔️ IT systems & cybersecurity Come see us at Booth 20 in the Swiss Lobby to learn more. And don’t miss our session, presented by our very own tech superhero Travis Bittecuffer! Cyber Safe, Tech Smart: A Practical Guide for Charter School Leaders 🗓 Monday, March 30 | 3–4 PM We’ll be sharing practical, actionable strategies to protect your school’s data, because turning data into action also means keeping it safe. If you’re attending, we hope you'll stop by and connect with our team. Let’s talk about how we can help you grow stronger, operate smarter, and focus more on what matters most: student success.
