What happens when a district dares to rethink everything it knows about staff devices? Join us for a fast-paced, honest look at our journey from traditional Windows/Mac environments to ChromeOS—and why the shift is gaining momentum right now. Facing mounting budget pressures, growing security demands, and limited IT staffing, we set out to simplify without sacrificing performance or instructional impact.

In this session, we’ll pull back the curtain on what sparked our migration, how we planned and piloted the transition, and what it really took to bring staff along for the ride. You’ll hear the wins (instruction, streamlined management, cost savings, security) as well as the challenges (app compatibility, staff resistance, and those inevitable edge cases). We’ll share practical insights on device decisions, training strategies, stakeholder buy-in, and what it means when teachers and students finally operate on the same platform.

Whether you’re actively considering ChromeOS or just curious about what’s possible, you’ll leave with actionable takeaways, real-world lessons, and a clearer picture of how to make a migration like this work in your own environment.
