IT Services for Education
Your job is teaching. Technology should be the thing nobody in the building has to think about, and for most schools it isn't.
IT Challenges for Schools
Student data carries obligations
FERPA governs education records, and the practical question is who can reach them and whether that access gets reviewed. Most schools have never been asked to show their answer.
Infrastructure outlives its plan
Equipment gets bought when funding allows, so a building often runs on several generations of it at once, with no record of what is where.
Wireless in older buildings
Block walls and thick floors make older buildings a wireless design problem, and a classroom where the devices drop is a lesson that stops.
Funding arrives in cycles
Grants and levies come with conditions and timelines that have nothing to do with when equipment fails.
IT Support for Schools
We document what you own first, because most schools don't have that list, and every decision afterward is cheaper once they do. An IT assessment is where the list starts.
We design the network and the wireless for the building you have, including the parts built before anybody imagined a device in every hand. A wireless site survey measures the building before anything gets installed.
Phones are part of the same plan. For a multi-building school, one cloud VoIP system let the buildings transfer calls to each other at roughly half the old monthly cost.
We plan spending against your funding cycle and tell you what a grant application needs from us technically, which is usually the part that holds a submission up. Ohio House Bill 96 also applies to school districts, and our HB 96 summary explains the cybersecurity program it requires.

Why the office Wi-Fi is slow explains why coverage comes down to placement and measurement, which applies to classrooms too. Multi-factor authentication without the daily fight covers secure sign-in for staff.

Common questions
Do you understand FERPA?
Yes. The practical work is knowing where student records live and who can reach them, and being able to prove it. We'll tell you plainly where your current setup would struggle to show that.
Our building is old and the Wi-Fi is poor. Is that fixable?
Usually, and usually not by adding more access points, which has often been tried already. Older construction changes how signal travels, so we survey the building when it's full of people and devices and design from what we measure.
Can you work within a grant or levy timeline?
Yes. Tell us the deadline and what the funding covers, and we'll give you costs and technical detail in a form you can put straight into the application.
