DeSoto Parish Schools in northwest Louisiana has nine schools and six facilities throughout the parish, serving over 5,000 students. Located in District 4, DeSoto is ranked 6th in the state and is one of only seven districts with an overall rating of “A” for the 2021-22 school year. With over $18 million in total revenue, DeSoto spends $20k+ per student annually, focused on the acceleration of learning. Technology investments are a top priority for DeSoto’s Accounting Manager, Ty McCutcheon — but contacting telecom carriers to secure better contracts and savings is not his main focus.
