This is not unique to school districts at all, but any organisation, large or small, that treats IT/tech only as a necessary inconvenience, instead of an actual part of the org deserving of resources, planning, and people.
If you work in tech/IT, and the big bosses consider you and your org disparagingly, leave immediately. Something bad will happen with their IT, and you will be blamed, hassled, and harrassed for it.
