IT Services for
Education & K-12.
Student data protection isn't optional — it's the law. We provide the technology governance framework that school districts and educational institutions need to stay compliant, secure, and funded.
Schools are among the most targeted organizations in cybersecurity — and among the least prepared. Tight budgets, aging infrastructure, high device-to-staff ratios, and a constantly expanding threat landscape create a perfect storm. Strix IT was built to solve it.
Our governance model for educational institutions delivers structured oversight of your entire technology environment — from student information systems and learning management platforms to staff endpoints, campus networks, and cloud infrastructure. We understand FERPA, CIPA, COPPA, state student privacy laws, and the unique operational demands of a school environment.
Every district we serve receives 24/7 operational response, continuous threat monitoring, compliance controls aligned to federal and state requirements, E-Rate optimization guidance, and quarterly Strategic Business Reviews that give superintendents and boards actual visibility into technology health, risk posture, and ROI.
We don't just support your technology. We govern it — so you can focus on educating students.
FERPA & Student Data Protection
Comprehensive governance framework ensuring student personally identifiable information is protected across every system, device, and communication channel — meeting all federal and state privacy requirements.
E-Rate Funding Optimization
Strategic guidance on E-Rate Category 1 and Category 2 funding applications, ensuring your district maximizes available discounts (20-85%) for eligible technology infrastructure and services.
Campus Network Governance
Structured oversight of multi-campus network infrastructure — wireless density planning, content filtering (CIPA compliance), bandwidth management, and unified security policies across all school sites.
Cybersecurity Awareness & Staff Training
Ongoing security awareness programs designed specifically for educational staff — phishing simulation, safe data handling practices, AI governance, and incident reporting protocols.
