The problem, what we did about it, and how it turned out. Direct references are available for every district we name.
The Lawson Academy, a charter school
Moving a whole school to Google Workspace before the first bell
The problem
Staff and students needed to move off Office 365 and onto Google Workspace, a new Chromebook fleet had to be enrolled, and testing was coming. The school’s on-site IT person handled day-to-day issues but didn’t have a systems background.
What we did
Mapped and migrated staff accounts and data
Loaded every student into Google and checked each sign-in
Enrolled the Chromebook fleet and installed Securly web filtering
Set up classroom display panels and wrote quick-reference guides for teachers
How it turned out
Every student was loaded and able to log in. During testing week, we found a workaround that got 20 Chromebooks back into the testing session. Lawson now works with MCG on an ongoing basis for planning, security, and E-rate.
14-campus K–12 district
Districtwide Wi-Fi overhaul with zero instructional downtime
The problem
The district needed a full wireless refresh to support a 1:1 rollout and couldn’t lose a single instructional day.
What we did
Rebuilt the network one campus at a time over consecutive weekends, staged equipment ahead of time, and tested every site before Monday.
0instructional days lost
2 weeksahead of the back-to-school deadline
Fast-growing suburban district
A help desk that keeps up with enrollment
The problem
Enrollment outgrew a one-technician IT team, and tickets often waited days for an answer.
What we did
Set up a tiered help desk with response times in writing, took over device fleet work, and freed the district’s technologist for bigger projects.
Under 2 hrsaverage time to resolve a ticket

Born to Teach Conference, Houston, July 2024
On-site IT for a teacher conference
Conferences don’t get a second chance at the opening session. Our team ran on-site IT support for Born to Teach in downtown Houston, so presenters could plug in and go.
