Who We Serve

Supporting charter, private,

🏫
Public School Districts

🏭
Private & Independent Schools
Private K-12 schools and independent campuses with modern learning environments, BYOD programs, and donor data requiring protection alongside student records.
🎓
Charter Schools
Charter schools and charter networks operating lean IT teams who need a reliable managed services partner to handle compliance, devices, and infrastructure.
🏠
Parochial & Faith-Based Schools
Catholic, Christian, Jewish, and other faith-based K-12 schools balancing tight budgets with modern technology needs and student data privacy obligations.
The Challenges

Filtering, FERPA, and
the IT pressure schools face

Schools face a uniquely difficult combination of tight budgets, complex compliance requirements, thousands of student devices, and cyber threats specifically targeting the education sector.

🔐
FERPA & Student Data Privacy
Student records, grades, and personally identifiable information are strictly protected under FERPA. A single breach or unauthorized disclosure triggers federal reporting requirements, district liability, and parent outrage, all at once.
💻
Ransomware Targeting Schools
K-12 schools are the #1 most targeted sector for ransomware attacks. Attackers know schools have student data, lean IT staff, and intense pressure to restore systems quickly. The average recovery cost exceeds $1.9 million per incident.
📱
Device Management at Scale
Managing hundreds or thousands of Chromebooks, iPads, and laptops, provisioning, updating, securing, and replacing them, is a full-time job that most school IT departments can’t handle alongside everything else.
💳
E-Rate Complexity
E-Rate funding can cover up to 90% of eligible technology costs, but the application process, Form 471, competitive bidding, and compliance documentation stops most schools from ever claiming what they’re entitled to.
🌐
Classroom Connectivity & Wi-Fi
Classrooms with 30 students all streaming video, running apps, and submitting work simultaneously require enterprise-grade Wi-Fi infrastructure, not the consumer-grade equipment most schools are still running.
☀
Summer Project Backlogs
Network upgrades, server replacements, device refreshes, and new classroom installs all need to happen between June and August. Without a partner who plans ahead, summer runs out before the work is done.

Your dedicated Technical Account Manager meets with your IT director or business manager quarterly to review compliance posture, plan summer projects, and align technology with your school’s academic and operational goals.

FAQ

Common questions from
K-12 schools & districts

How do you help schools with E-Rate funding?
We assist schools through the entire E-Rate process, from determining eligibility and filing Form 471 to documenting competitive bidding requirements and maintaining compliance records for audits. Many schools we work with recover significant funding they weren’t claiming before partnering with us.
What happens if a student device is lost or stolen?
With our MDM setup, we can remotely lock or wipe any enrolled device within minutes of a report. We maintain documentation for insurance purposes and help coordinate replacement through your loaner pool. No student data leaves the device after a remote wipe.
Do you support both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365?
Yes, fully. Many schools use Google Workspace for Education for students and Microsoft 365 for administrative staff. We manage both environments, handle licensing renewals, and ensure both are configured securely with appropriate access controls for each user type.
How do you handle FERPA with third-party apps?
Before any third-party app accesses student data, we audit it for FERPA compliance and require a signed data processing agreement. We maintain an approved vendor list and block access to non-compliant apps at the network level so teachers can’t accidentally use an unapproved tool.
Can you handle our summer IT projects?
Summer is when we do our best work for schools. Network upgrades, server replacements, device refreshes, new classroom installs, we plan summer projects in the spring and guarantee completion before the first day of school. We’ve never missed a back-to-school deadline.
How is pricing structured for schools?
Flat monthly rate per device or per user, predictable, budget-friendly, and easy to include in your annual technology plan. No surprise invoices, no extra charges for after-hours support during a school event. Hardware-as-a-Service is available to cover Chromebook and laptop refreshes in the same flat rate.

Your students deserve technology
that never gets in the way of learning.

Specialized IT Services for Los Angeles Schools

Go deeper on the service independent schools ask about most:

Student Data Privacy and Security Compliance for LA Schools

The program a campus actually needs

A formal security risk assessment

Mapping where student and family data lives — SIS, LMS, Google/Microsoft tenants, and untracked exports — ranked by student-impact.

Ed-tech vendor oversight

A reviewed inventory of every app touching student data, aligned to California’s student-privacy statutes.

Security awareness training

Staff-wide phishing defense — the front office processing enrollment deposits is the most-targeted desk on campus.

Vulnerability assessments

Recurring scans across campus networks that student devices, guest Wi-Fi, and aging infrastructure make porous.

Tested backup and recovery

Ransomware has closed districts for weeks — recovery objectives set against instructional days lost, evidenced for your insurer.

Schools hold a data set attackers actively trade: student records with clean credit histories, family financial information from enrollment and aid applications, and health records from the nurse’s office. California layers SOPIPA and AB 1584 on top of FERPA — making vendor security review a compliance duty, not an option — and cyber insurance carriers now ask pointed questions about MFA, backups, and incident response before renewing an education policy.

We run IT for LA schools and manage these controls as part of daily operations, with documentation your board, accreditor, or carrier can review on request. Start with a readiness assessment scoped to your campus, or see our full cybersecurity compliance services.
