Olathe Unified School District: Cisco Helps K-12 Build Secure, Resilient, AI-Ready Infrastructure, Podcast, Umphrey brings a distinctive perspective to the CTO role. Before moving into technology leadership, he was a high school history and government teacher at Olathe East High School, where he also coached football and boys golf By Doug Green “For partners, the message is simple: don't bring a cookie-cutter approach. Understand the district, understand the mission, and tailor the solution.” At Cisco Live, Technology Reseller News spoke with Joshua Umphrey, Chief Technology Officer for Olathe Unified School District in Kansas, about how one of the state's largest school districts is building a secure, resilient and AI-ready digital foundation for K-12 education. Olathe serves nearly 30,000 students across 51 schools. Like many school districts, Olathe faces enterprise-level technology challenges in a public-sector environment: protecting students and staff, keeping systems available, managing limited resources and preparing for emerging demands such as AI in education. Umphrey brings a distinctive perspective to the CTO role. Before moving into technology leadership, he was a high school history and government teacher at Olathe East High School, where he also coached football and boys golf. “Definitely an atypical route,” Umphrey said, reflecting on his move from the classroom into IT leadership. That background still shapes how he views technology. For Umphrey, the network is not simply infrastructure. It is part of the learning environment. Technology has to protect students, support teachers, keep learning moving and help the district plan for what comes next. In the podcast, Umphrey discusses how Olathe is using Cisco networking, security, Splunk, Cisco UCS, Call Manager and Cisco CX offerings to improve visibility, cybersecurity and resilience across the district. The goal is to move from reactive support to a stronger model of operational control, where IT teams have better insight into what is happening across the environment and can respond more effectively. The conversation also turns to what Cisco Partners and technology providers should understand about serving K-12. School districts are not interchangeable. They have different budgets, facilities, staffing models, security needs and educational priorities. For partners, Umphrey's message is clear: K-12 customers need practical, secure and manageable solutions that are aligned with the mission of education. The sale is not simply about products. It is about helping schools protect learning time, reduce risk and build a technology foundation that can support students, teachers and staff over the long term.

For the Glory KC is back with the 180th episode of the show!Before we get to the podcast, the KC Soccer Journal is having a free event at the Indian Creek Library in Olathe. Tickets are free and you can get them here!Sporting Kansas City couldn't string together three wins in a row for the first time since 2022. Perhaps after MLS returns from the 2026 FIFA World Cup break. Sporting KC nearly pulled off the comeback after a slow start against Red Bull New York on Saturday night.It was Star Wars night at Sporting Park and Sheena and I talk our off the field escapades, in addition to what happened on the pitch. After New York's quick start, Sporting KC generated numerous opportunities and nearly doubled RBNY's expected goal (xG) output, according to Fotmob (1.69 to 0.88).Though they had the greater chances, they failed to finish too consistently. Additionally, their mistakes were punished more readily. That doesn't even account for all the chances that didn't lead to a shot when a player took one too many touches or made a poor pass to kill an attack. Despite that, Kansas City remained in the game until the dying minutes. A welcome change after 5-0 and 6-0 blowouts just a few weeks back.We talk through all the highs and lows, as well as time spent on Capita, Berg Johnsen, Manu Garcia, Taylor Calheira, Shapi, Jake Davis and others. Sheena even breaks out a top-ranking list for SKC and the Current.In addition to the game, we talk through Austin FC firing their coach and Sporting Director after losing to Sporting KC, Or Blorian leaving his last club on a high, Zorhan Bassong's shot at a World Cup roster and Zamir Loyo Reynaga scoring in his latest international endeavor.The KC Current were up and down this week. They ended the week on a high, beating the then first place Portland Thorns. But their midweek road loss to Angel City FC soured the week a bit. Temwa Chawinga continued her Golden Boot climb and the ongoing Ally Sentnor/Haley Hopkins debate gets another chapter.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:SKC II resultsMessi injured?USMNT roster for the World Cup!Here is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 1:59KC Current - 54:18Digital Crawl - 1:14:41Upcoming GamesSKC II @ Real Monarchs, FRI, May 29th at 9:00PM CSTKC Current vs Boston Legacy, SAT, May 30th at 12:30PM As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

The Kansas State Fire Marshal's Office (KSFM) is responsible for creating and enforcing regulations related to fire safety. KSFM's regulations adopt the 2006 edition of the International Code Council's International Fire Code, the 2006 edition of the National Fire Protection Association's Life Safety Code, and other similar standards. KSFM inspects residential facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living facilities, for compliance with the Life Safety Code. KSFM inspects childcare facilities for compliance with the International Fire Code. We found KSFM does inconsistent inspections of residential and childcare facilities. For example, not all inspectors check the same things, and some inspectors don't cite facilities for certain violations. We also found inspectors don't adequately support the violations they cite with references to applicable requirements. These issues were due to the vast number of requirements inspectors are responsible for and inadequately designed controls.Local fire departments may also inspect residential and childcare facilities for fire safety, either under an agreement with KSFM or independently. We found KSFM and 3 local fire departments (Hays, Olathe, and Newton) had similar processes for inspecting residential and childcare facilities. However, the 3 local departments inspect according to more recent editions of the International Fire Code than KSFM does. KSFM used the 2006 edition, while the 3 departments used editions from between 2015 and 2024. Differences between the editions likely contributed to inspection inconsistencies and stakeholder frustration.
For the Glory KC is back with the 179th episode of the show!Before we get to the podcast, the KC Soccer Journal is having a free event at the Indian Creek Library in Olathe. Tickets are free and you can get them here!Sporting Kansas City went from one of their worst performances ever to an incredible bounce-back week. After losing to the Portland Timbers last weekend by an abysmal 6-0 scoreline, Sporting KC put together back-to-back MLS wins for the first time since the summer of 2024! First, they hosted the LA Galaxy and beat them 3-1 in a relatively dominant performance. Sheena was in attendance for the first time this season, so clearly, she and her friends are good luck. Or was it the atrocious media game I played in? Either way, the Galaxy are, for one reason or another, terrible against SKC. That was the second time they've played and at the time SKC's 2nd win of the season. We talk through all the events around the game, the media game and of course, the main event of Sporting KC putting up three for the first time this year and winning at home for the first time this year. Then, KC did the unlikely and won again three days later on the road against Austin FC. They were the better team for most of the game. Despite going down late in the first half, they fought back to tie and eventually win the game and break Austin's verde hearts. Overall, four players scored their first goal of the season this week. Sporting KC had their first comeback win of the season. And things generally went really well over that jam-packed week.Sheena and I also had to discuss the Sporting KC salary release from this week, including all the new player wages and salary changes. I also had to knock down some of those rants from folks I respect around the team when it came to how low the payroll is. The KC Current had an amazing couple of weeks too, with two, 3-0 wins. First over a pretty awful Chicago Stars team that had somehow managed to beat KC once and then against a Houston Dash side that made a series of gaffs early to let KC run away with things. In the process Temwa Chawinga went from zero goals to five in two games and moved into second in the Golden Boot race.

For the Glory KC is back with the 178th episode of the show!Before we get to the podcast, the KC Soccer Journal is having a free event at the Indian Creek Library in Olathe. Tickets are free and you can get them here!Sporting Kansas City showed signs of life this past weekend. After dropping six straight results and falling to a .500 team historically for the first time in years, they surprised everyone and battled back for a draw against the Seattle Sounders. It's a sliver of the progress we've all been waiting for this season after a string of very bad results.There was lots to like but also lots to still improve on in the game. One of the biggest changes was Stefan Cleveland at goalkeeper, a job he'll apparently have for the foreseeable future. Sheena and I weigh in on Cleveland and what was differ and Sheena copes with John Pulskamp heading to the bench.We also talk through the other moments from the game, including other changes, Dejan Joveljic's clutch goal, Shapi Suleymanov's performance and more. We also chime in on the retirements of Kei Kamara and Krisztian Nemeth as well as some good news for former Sporting KC Homegrown, Gianluca Busio.The KC Current did one better and went ahead and won their game over the North Carolina Courage. It was an uneven performance against a team on short rest but there were a lot of 2026 firsts. It was the first time the KC Current didn't allow the first goal. And more importantly, it was their first road win of the season.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:SKC II resultsLas Vegas trying to steal the Vancouver Whitecaps (#SaveTheCaps)MLS Next Pro may be relocating and rebranding teamsUSL and the USLPA may have found labor peaceHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro & a Free Library KC Soccer Journal event - 0:00Sporting KC - 6:45KC Current - 45:10Digital Crawl - 58:27Upcoming GamesSKC II vs. Ventura County, WED, May 6th at 7:00PM CSTSporting KC @ Portland Timbers, SAT, May 9th at 9:30PMKC Current vs. Chicago Stars, SUN, May 10th at 11:30AM (Mother's Day)SKC II @ Rapids 2, SUN, May 10th at 7:00PMAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

In another first, President Trump is about to be the first Commander in Chief to ever sit inside the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments. Trump will be there today as the court considers whether it's legal for illegal aliens to have babies in the USA and they are automatically citizens. Pop some corn, this will be something. While lower judges are cancelling everything Trump does, he signs yet another executive order. The new order is about verifying and tracking every election ballot in the US Postal Service. In an incredible story, a bunch of lady soccer fans and a columnist stop a new nightclub from opening called Sundown Lounge. They claimed it's racist. That's outrageous enough but get this... the man who had the idea and was set to own the club is black. Oh, brother. Tiger Woods heads to rehab, George Brett goes on national tv to discuss a very important Royals fan who has ALS and what we can do to help. A former female ref is suing the NFL and I"m here for it.... go get 'em! A helicopter lands in Olathe, illegally, with a couple hungry people on board. And Costco has created a smalll controversy with a chocolate Easter bunny.

One day after Donald Trump declared he's putting VP JD Vance in charge of America's "war on fraud" we need a scorecard to keep track of all the federal raids, busts, arraignments and investigations made public in some of our biggest cities. KC's Mayor Pro Tem is in really hot water over an FBI investigation that's been going on for a full year without her knowing it. LA, San Fran, Boston, Miami and the mother of all fraud... Minneapolis.. all had big news yesterday. That takedown on the street by ICE of a 19 year old American in Olathe has a new narrative. Turns out the young man was road raging ICE agents and is lucky.... no, very lucky... they are not charging him with a crime. Never, ever believe the one sided first stories regarding ICE enforcing our laws. World Cup host cities are crying poor and FIFA is threatening to pull out of fan fests and other events around the soccer games if they don't get millions and millions now.... from FEMA! There is stunning financial data for the Atlanta Braves' Ballpark Village and it's easy to see why the Royals want to try to do this for themselves. They are only the latest but the fan boy media around K-State Athletics are really embarrassing themselves by piling on the basketball team and coaches right now after four years of publicly drinking the Kool Aid on the biggest hiring disaster in school history. Don't trust fan boy media anywhere! And the lawsuit by 1587 Sneakers against 1587 restaurant is not exactly what you think.... we'll fill you in.
