Managed IT for Schools & Education

From K-12 private schools to charter campuses, educational institutions in the RGV need reliable network infrastructure, content filtering, student data protection, and device management โ€” all on a budget that demands maximum value from every IT dollar.

Reliable Technology That Supports Learning โ€” Not Interrupts It.

A dropped WiFi connection during a standardized test, a content filtering gap that exposes students to inappropriate material, or a ransomware attack that takes down your student information system โ€” these aren't hypotheticals. They're real risks that RGV schools face every school year.

IT Umbrella Group designs and manages educational IT environments that are reliable, secure, and compliant. We understand the unique dynamics of school networks โ€” high-density WiFi in classrooms, CIPA filtering requirements, student vs. staff network separation, and the budget constraints that come with educational funding.

Microsoft offers deeply discounted Education licenses for qualifying K-12 schools โ€” including Microsoft 365 A1 for free, and A3/A5 at significant discounts. We handle the eligibility verification, tenant setup, and deployment so your school gets the most from Microsoft's education program.

CIPA-compliant content filtering that blocks inappropriate content across all devices on your network โ€” including student-owned devices on the school WiFi.
