PRIVATE SCHOOLS & EDUCATION
Your school has teaching days, testing windows, enrollment deadlines and a short summer project season. Your IT plan should account for all of them.
Plan school-owned and 1:1 device programs around inventory, configuration, updates, repair coverage and replacement budgets. Start by agreeing which devices Stock supports and which belong to your education technology team.
Support the network connecting classrooms and offices, with firewall policies, filtering and logging. Review legitimate classroom access needs alongside restrictions, and agree who handles filtering exceptions.
Keep responsibility clear when Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and classroom applications have different owners. Our documented school role includes Microsoft 365 and infrastructure, coordinated with the school’s education technology team.
Include your SIS, enrollment and administrative systems in the support plan. Define vendor contacts and escalation responsibilities before an access or connectivity problem interrupts the school day. Application administration is scoped with your team; it is not assumed.
Turn aging laptops and switches into a phased replacement plan. Connect approval deadlines, equipment lead times and summer maintenance windows so the project is ready before students return.
Review backups and restore testing, then document who makes decisions and who communicates during an incident. Set an agreed scope for policy work and exercises instead of assuming a document alone makes the school ready.
PLAN AROUND YOUR YEAR
Review device age, network dependencies and the next year’s priorities.
Agree scope, ordering, ownership, maintenance windows and a rollback plan.
Agree readiness checks and support coverage. Schedule disruptive changes outside the school’s protected dates.
Review service needs, updates and upcoming changes with the people responsible.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Yes. Define a co-managed scope for infrastructure, support and projects while your internal team retains its agreed responsibilities.
That depends on the platform and agreed scope. We clarify application ownership and coordinate with the vendor; we do not assume platform-specific administration is included.
No. We can discuss technical safeguards, documentation and the work your school needs, with responsibilities and scope agreed in advance.
