IT Services for K-12 Schools & Districts
IT for schools and small districts: Chromebook fleets managed in Google Admin, staff devices held to one standard, student data protected, and a website every family can use.
Overview
Two fleets, one standard.
Most schools run two very different fleets. Students use Chromebooks, which are managed in the Google Admin console: enrollment, policies, apps, filtering settings and testing modes. Staff use Windows laptops and Macs that hold student records, grades and email, and need the same encryption, patching and backup as any business.
We manage both. Chromebooks are enrolled and configured in Google Admin, carts are refreshed before testing windows, and devices approaching the end of their automatic updates are flagged in time to budget. Staff devices are enrolled in endpoint management, encrypted and patched, with accounts removed when staff leave at the end of the year.

Common Questions
Questions we get asked
Do you manage Chromebooks through Google Admin?
Yes. Chromebooks are designed to be managed in the Google Admin console, and that is where we manage them: forced re-enrollment so a reset device comes back managed, organizational units for grades and staff, app and extension policies, testing kiosks and update controls. Each device needs a Chrome Education Upgrade license, which the school owns.
How do you protect student data on staff devices?
Staff laptops hold the information that matters most: student records, grades, accommodations and email with families. We encrypt them, keep them patched, require multifactor sign-in on email and cloud accounts, and back up cloud mail and drives. When a staff member leaves, their access is removed and the device is recovered and wiped before it is reassigned.
Can you help plan Chromebook replacements?
Yes. Every Chromebook model has a published date after which it stops receiving automatic updates, and devices past that date fall behind on security and testing app support. We track those dates across your fleet and give you a replacement plan by year, so the cost appears in a budget rather than as a surprise in August.
Do you work with private and charter schools as well as districts?
Yes. Private and charter schools often have the same mix of Chromebooks and staff devices as a district but no IT department at all, which is exactly where a managed service fits. We scale the service to the number of devices, and the same help desk supports teachers, office staff and administrators.
