NCED Symposium

At Eastern NC School for the Deaf, we believe innovation and responsibility go hand in hand.

At the NCED Symposium 2026, Mandy Armstrong represented ENCSD by presenting on the safe and compliant use of AI prompts in education, with a strong focus on FERPA and HIPAA protections. As schools explore the possibilities of AI, protecting student privacy must remain at the center of the conversation.

I’m proud of the thoughtful leadership our team continues to demonstrate across North Carolina. We are committed to embracing new tools in ways that strengthen instruction while safeguarding the students and families we serve.

At ENCSD, we’re not just adopting innovation — we’re leading it responsibly.
