Student data privacy controls, classroom Wi-Fi that holds up under 1:1 devices, CIPA-aligned content filtering that supports E-rate eligibility, and IT work scheduled around the academic calendar instead of across it. K-12 through adult education, all across Wisconsin.
Hundreds of devices on Wi-Fi at once. Federal frameworks written to protect students. Budgets tied to grants and state funding. Teacher patience for tech problems measured in minutes. Most providers do not know FERPA, cannot size Wi-Fi for thirty students on tablets, and have never heard of E-rate.
Each segment carries different frameworks, funding, and realities. All eight are ours.
FERPA-aligned student data, E-rate eligibility, CIPA filtering, and Wi-Fi sized for state assessments and 1:1 programs.
Independent and faith-based schools needing student data privacy without a district IT department behind them.
Public accountability with private-school flexibility. Authorizer reporting, DPI compliance, and lean infrastructure.
Community colleges, universities, and research institutions carrying FERPA, research data security, and HIPAA where health programs exist.
Trade schools and certification programs with student records, instructor credentialing, and lab equipment on the network.
After-school programs, test prep, and enrichment, where parent and student data privacy meets online session security.
Parent communication apps, camera integration, and child data protection sized for a small staff and simple operations.
Adult learning programs, corporate training, and continuing ed with LMS integration and adult learner privacy.
A fifty-student daycare and a two-thousand-student high school share more IT problems than either expects.
This vertical carries more student-protection regulation than almost any other. We build to the right standard for your segment and document it, so audits, parent requests, and grant applications stay boring.
Protects student education records. We implement access controls, audit logging, and disclosure tracking aligned to it.
Reaches anything collecting data from students under 13. We help vet platforms, run parent consent flows, and document what you did.
Content filtering is a condition of E-rate eligibility. We deploy filtering aligned to it, with documented override processes for instructional use.
Discounts on broadband and internal connections for K-12 schools and libraries. We support the eligibility documentation, technical specifications, and vendor selection.
State requirements covering student data privacy, vendor agreements, and security incident reporting.
A clinic, athletic training program, or counseling service can pull HIPAA in alongside FERPA. We design infrastructure that respects the boundary between them.
We are IT professionals, not attorneys or E-rate consultants. We build and document the technical controls and work alongside your counsel, your filing service, or your DPI contact. The wider stack lives on Cybersecurity & Compliance and Network Infrastructure.
Yes. We help schools and libraries through Category 1 broadband and Category 2 internal connections applications, coordinate with eligible service providers, document CIPA compliance, and supply the technical specifications USAC asks for. We are not an E-rate consultant, and we work alongside your consultant or filing service.
Density first. A thirty-student classroom on 1:1 devices needs an access point sized for at least sixty concurrent connections once you count student devices, the teacher, projectors, and IoT. We use Ubiquiti UniFi or Cisco Meraki access points placed every 1–2 classrooms with channel planning that avoids co-channel interference, and we model bandwidth for assessments and streaming.
FERPA shapes everything we build for a school. Role-based access to the student information system, audit logging for disclosure tracking, parent and guardian access management, and a tracked data privacy agreement for every ed-tech tool that touches student data.
Yes. Chromebook deployments run through Google Admin Console for enrollment, organizational unit policies, app deployment, and lifecycle. iPad fleets go through Jamf or Apple School Manager, and Windows devices through Intune.
Carefully, and well ahead. Major work maps to summer, winter, or spring break depending on scope. Mid-semester we stick to additive work that cannot disrupt a classroom, such as imaging new devices, adding access points, or deploying security tooling. We do not push a major network change during the first or last week of a quarter.
Yes. Early childhood centers have their own mix: parent communication apps like Brightwheel, Procare, or Lillio, camera integration, secure parent and teacher messaging, child data privacy obligations, and PCI scope from tuition payments. We build to the smaller staff count and simpler operations rather than shrinking a school design.
We review network capacity, student data privacy posture, and CIPA compliance, then hand you a prioritized plan timed to your academic calendar. You keep the plan either way.
