MassCUE Board of Directors Election: Voting 5/20 – 5/27. Meet the Candidates.

MassCUE Board of Directors Election: Voting Opens May 20th It’s election season at MassCUE! This spring, MassCUE is looking to fill three elected Director positions and three appointed Director positions to the Board of Directors. Voting will take place from Tuesday, May 20 to Tuesday, May 27, 2025. An email containing a link for the ballot will be sent out to MassCUE members on Tuesday, May 20. The MassCUE Board of Directors plays a key role in the strategic direction of the organization. This year we are pleased to announce we have five candidates running for the opportunity to share their time and talents with MassCUE.   Meet the Candidates Scott J. Cabral As Chief Information Officer for Fall River Public Schools, I bring over 25 years of experience in K–12 technology leadership, overseeing infrastructure, instructional technology, cybersecurity, and data systems for nearly 10,000 students. I’m deeply committed to integrating emerging technologies—particularly AI—in ways that enhance student learning outcomes and support educators in transforming instructional practice. My philosophy centers on equity, innovation, and sustainability. I believe AI, when implemented thoughtfully, has the potential to personalize learning, streamline administrative tasks, and empower educators with real-time insights. At the same time, professional development must evolve to ensure staff are confident and prepared to use these tools responsibly and effectively. If elected, I will work to expand statewide access to high-impact technology programs, elevate AI readiness, and ensure both students and educators are equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Greg Limperis With a proven track record of leadership in educational technology, I am committed to advocating for the effective integration of technology in education. My qualifications include Professional development of educators in the proper use of educational technology to help improve teaching and learning. . I believe in a student-centered approach where technology serves as a catalyst for personalized learning and equitable access. As a MassCUE Board member, I aim to amplify the voices of educators, promote best practices, and work collaboratively to advance the strategic use of technology across the Commonwealth. Andrew Marcinek Andrew Marcinek brings over 15 years of leadership in educational technology and digital learning to the MassCUE Board of Directors. As the author of Teaching Digital Kindness (Routledge, 2023), Andrew is a leading advocate for student digital well-being and intentional, equitable use of technology in schools. His philosophy centers on aligning technology with core educational values to empower learners and educators. During his tenure on the MassCUE Board, Andrew has co-chaired the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and served on the Finance Committee, helping guide the organization’s fiscal stewardship and strategic priorities. Andrew is dedicated to fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainable practices that support Massachusetts educators and students in a rapidly evolving digital world. Corey Mello With 17 years of experience in Special Education and 15 of those years in an IT role, I believe I can bring an often overlooked perspective to MassCUE’s leadership as we look to the future. I come from a self-taught background in the field with a growing focus in assistive technology to support and enrich both physically impaired and neurodivergent students. I have a strong belief that digital citizenship and an educated user base is key to navigating the rapidly changing landscape of technology in schools. Both cybersecurity and ethical application of the tools at our fingertips begins and ends with the user, and it is our responsibility to understand this in order to empower our students. Kendyl Brooks Santos As an elementary Technology Teacher with a background in classroom instruction, I bring a passion for empowering both students and educators through meaningful, accessible technology integration. With experience teaching in both urban and suburban settings, I understand the diverse needs of schools and the power of digital tools to transform learning. I believe in fostering digital citizenship, supporting lifelong learning, and creating equitable opportunities for all learners. My goal in serving on the MassCUE Board is to advocate for educator voice, expand access to high-quality professional development, and help shape the future of EdTech in Massachusetts. I’m committed to collaboration, innovation, and strengthening our community of educators.
