Fiore Field Trip

Take your district somewhere new.

Fiore Field Trip is the K-12 division of R.J. Fiore+. Take your district somewhere new. Led by a former district CIO who ran technology for 18,000 students, we help superintendents, technology directors and school boards put safe, practical AI, strong infrastructure and clear data to work. Our proven frameworks, refined across six Illinois districts, show who owns what in technology, who can access student data, and where staff are overloaded. Services include technology role alignment, student data privacy and access reviews (FERPA, CIPA, COPPA, SOPPA), board-ready AI policy, AI tool vetting, E-Rate and infrastructure planning, fractional CIO support, and AI help desks for district IT.
