District Services
Procurement Guidance
Our team provides feedback, support, and mentoring for districts selecting new digital devices and software. We help you choose technology that meets your specific needs while getting the most value from your investment.
Training for New Technology
Our procurement team connects you with professional learning opportunities for newly acquired technology. EdTech leads train your staff to use tools effectively and unlock their full potential for student learning.
Strategic Technology Planning
Many districts lack staff to create sustainable technology plans. Our procurement and EdTech teams enhance existing plans or build new ones from scratch. We create dependable planning frameworks that guide budgeting and technology decisions for years ahead.
