For schools and districts

Technology support for Montana schools and districts.

Small districts run big technology footprints on lean staff. We act as your in-house IT resource, or back up the team you already have, so testing days, safety drills and daily instruction keep running.

How we work with K12

Start with the situation that sounds like your district. Each one leads to the service built for it.

No IT staff

Managed IT

A tech-savvy teacher covers it between classes, or nobody does. We become your IT department: help desk, monitoring, devices and planning.

From $600 a monthSee managed IT
One to three IT staff

Co-managed IT

Your team keeps things running but needs backup on infrastructure, cybersecurity, planning and budgets. We work alongside them.

From $700 a monthSee co-managed IT
A one-time project

Network projects

A WiFi expansion, a switch or firewall refresh, a new building or a remodel, planned around your school calendar.

Schoolhouse IT is great solution for schools. Associates are very knowledgeable and they help schools develop a good IT solution for their individual district and budget. They are always available via the ticket system when they are not onsite.

Schoolhouse IT is the best! I'm not a computer/phone system savvy person. They make it easy for me to understand. They are kind, courteous and professional. Highly recommend them!

How we keep K12 running
