IT for K-12 & Private Schools
Houston-area K-12 and private schools operate in a uniquely demanding IT environment — strict student data privacy requirements under FERPA, CIPA-mandated web filtering and cyber safety, large device fleets, instructional technology that must work every period of every day, and increasing ransomware targeting of the K-12 sector. LayerLogix delivers managed IT, compliance support, and classroom technology services built specifically for the needs of Houston-area schools, from small parochial academies to multi-campus private school networks.
What We Offer
Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses
FERPA Compliance & Student Data Privacy
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act governs how student education records may be stored, accessed, and shared. We implement access controls, audit logging, encryption, and data handling procedures that protect student records and satisfy parent and auditor inquiries.
CIPA Web Filtering & Cyber Safety
The Children's Internet Protection Act requires schools receiving E-Rate funds to filter harmful content and educate students on appropriate online behavior. We deploy managed content filtering, monitor for self-harm and bullying indicators, and support your digital citizenship program.
Chromebook & Device Fleet Management
Managing hundreds or thousands of student Chromebooks (or iPads, or Windows devices) is a full-time job. We handle Google Admin Console management, Jamf and Intune for iPads and Windows, deployment, asset tracking, break/fix, and summer refurbishment so teachers can teach and students can learn.
Classroom Technology Support
Interactive displays, document cameras, projectors, speakers, and classroom Wi-Fi all need to work every period of every day. We provide fast-response in-classroom support so teachers don't lose instructional time to a dead projector or a display that won't connect.
E-Rate Support & Documentation
E-Rate funding is a significant benefit — but the application process, Form 470/471 filings, and documentation requirements are onerous. We help private schools, charter schools, and parochial schools navigate E-Rate and capture the funding you're eligible for.
School Cybersecurity & Ransomware Defense
K-12 schools have become favorite targets for ransomware attackers who know schools can't afford downtime. We implement layered security, tested backups, student and staff phishing training, and incident response planning — protecting your ability to keep the school open and operating.
Why Choose LayerLogix?
Serving businesses throughout the Greater Houston area including Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Katy, Sugar Land, Conroe, Pearland, Dallas, Austin.
Protect Students and Their Families
Student data privacy, online safety, and protection from cyber threats all ultimately protect the students you serve and the families who trust you with their children. Technology that upholds that trust is foundational to every school.
Maximize Instructional Time
Every minute a teacher spends fighting with technology is a minute not spent teaching. Our in-classroom response and proactive maintenance keep the technology invisible — so teachers can focus on education.
Satisfy Parents, Board, and Auditors
Parents ask hard questions about data privacy. Boards ask hard questions about cybersecurity spend. Auditors ask hard questions about FERPA compliance. We help you answer all of them with confidence and documentation.
Capture E-Rate and Grant Funding
E-Rate, state grants, and federal programs can fund significant portions of your technology spend — if you know how to apply and can produce the required documentation. We help schools capture funding they're leaving on the table.
Avoid Becoming the Next K-12 Ransomware Headline
Ransomware attacks have closed schools for weeks and forced painful ransom decisions. Our layered security and tested backups help Houston-area schools stay off that list.
Our Process
A district laptop holds a thousand kids' worth of records
Schools run thin budgets, sprawling device fleets, and student data that federal law protects fiercely, all while ransomware crews have made K-12 a favorite target. Here is how we map controls to the pressures a Houston-area school actually faces.
Ransomware locks the SIS and grade books and forces a school to weigh paying or closing.
EDR on every device and network segmentation contain the spread, while immutable, regularly tested backups restore the school day without paying.
A teacher, aide, or vendor reaches student education records they have no legitimate need to see.
Least-privilege, role-based access to the SIS plus full audit logging enforces the legitimate-educational-interest standard and gives parents and auditors a clear trail.
Students reach obscene or harmful content and the school risks losing its E-Rate discounts.
Managed DNS and content filtering serve as the technology protection measure CIPA requires, with the usage reporting your E-Rate audit expects.
Free classroom apps quietly harvest data from students under 13 without proper consent.
Ed-tech vetting, allowlisting, and written vendor data-handling agreements keep under-13 collection inside COPPA's school-authorization exception.
