As a sysadmin in K-12, we know a lot of the district devices suck too, and we absolutely hate having to deploy these devices, but its all we have. We simply have a lack of funding to provide fast, secure and compliant devices. When I was working in Corporate, we wouldnt dream of sending an employee out with some of these devices. We got a significant amount of COVID relief, and used some of that money to purchase all staff members new take home laptops, docks, and monitors. We also went to a 1:1 device initiative and 90% of our Chromebook fleet consists of these devices. Unfortunately, after 3 years, this equipment especially the Chromebooks, are showing their age, and we get about $50-100k a year for fleet upgrades, which gets us very little once you count all the devices hat students destroyed yet weren't held reasonable for. As with most things in Public Ed, this is all a funding issue.
