IT Services for Schools and Educational Institutions
Schools in Wisconsin manage hundreds of devices, diverse user groups, and sensitive student data — all on limited IT budgets. FERPA compliance, content filtering, and network performance that holds up when every student opens a Chromebook at once are not optional. They are the baseline.

Student data carries legal protection under FERPA, and Wisconsin schools face additional state-level student privacy requirements. Every system that touches student records — SIS, LMS, email, cloud storage — needs proper access controls, encryption, and documented data handling procedures. Violations carry real consequences, and audits do happen.
School networks are uniquely demanding. Hundreds of devices — students, staff, and administration — hit the network simultaneously, running video, cloud apps, and collaboration tools. High-density Wi-Fi that performs under load, with proper content filtering and network segmentation, requires deliberate design.
Educational technology is expanding fast. Google Workspace for Education, learning management systems, student information systems, and 1:1 device programs all need to be managed, updated, and secured. Many Wisconsin schools lack the IT staff to stay ahead of that complexity.

Quick IT Tips
Practical advice for schools and educational institutions — whether you work with us or not.
- •Segment your student network from your staff and administrative network. Students should not be able to reach systems holding teacher records, SIS data, or financial information — and that separation requires more than a separate SSID.
- •Review every third-party app your district uses for student data handling. Under FERPA, you are responsible for how vendors handle student records. Check whether each vendor has signed a FERPA-compliant data processing agreement.
- •Set up separate device management policies for staff and student devices. Staff devices need access to sensitive systems and should have stricter controls. Student devices need content filtering and app restrictions that do not apply to staff.
- •Do not skip security patching on classroom devices because it is inconvenient. Unpatched student devices connected to your network are an attack surface — schedule updates during off-hours and automate where possible.
- •Enable MFA on every staff account that accesses student records — SIS, email, Google Workspace admin, and LMS admin portals. A compromised teacher or administrator account can expose FERPA-protected data for an entire school.
