Despite research and practitioner articles outlining the importance information technology disaster plans (ITDRPs) to organizational success, barriers have impeded the process of disaster preparation for Burlington County New Jersey school districts. The purpose of this explanatory qualitative case study was to understand how technology leader experience has influenced ITDRPs. Participants in the study consisted of 10 technology leaders including a network administrator, educational technology coordinator, director of technology, technology coordinator, and a technology specialist. Interview questions pertaining to information technology disaster experience, organizational support, current disaster concerns, future concerns, and thoughts on current preparation level were designed to gather data from technology leaders. Data were collected, transcribed, and analyzed using Dedoose research software. The analysis of data led to six emergent themes. The results of the study indicated that information technology leaders who experienced disaster incidents that had a significant impact on their organizations were more likely to implement disaster mitigation strategies. The results of the study also showed that despite some efforts in ITDRP development, most districts did not have a formally documented plan. The findings of this study could benefit school district technology leaders seeking to improve their ITDRP and enhance their information systems resiliency. Suggestions for future research and recommendations for school district technology leaders to strengthen their ITDRPs are included in the discussion of findings.
