To address the challenges faced by educational facilities, administrators should adopt technologies that streamline operations and reduce costs, given the budget constraints.
Leveraging AI, IoT, and cloud-based solutions alleviates operating pains, ensures secure access control, and allows seamless asset management, enabling schools to focus on what matters—education.
In 2023, the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Inspector General revealed that 77,505 tech devices, including laptops, hotspots, and tablets, were reported lost or stolen in the school year 2021-2022. Between 2020 and 2023, CPS spent $308 million on 311,000 laptops, but it was discovered that devices from three dozen schools were entirely unaccounted for. This prompted questions from Chicago City Council members about CPS’ auditing and inventory effectiveness.
The Inspector General’s report recommended changes to the technology tracking system, making principals responsible for inventory audits and holding students and staff accountable for the devices. It was also suggested that CPS should have implemented immediate lockdown mechanisms for lost devices.
