🌷 Spring is right around the corner, and for K-12 IT teams, that means the assessment crunch is on. A cracked screen in April isn't just a repair—it's a scheduling disaster.
Here are 4 Quick Tips to bulletproof your device fleet before the first login:
✅ Audit Early (Like, Now): Don’t wait for April. Identify devices with failing batteries or "ghost" keyboards today. Get them into the repair pipeline before the window closes.
✅ Tier Your Repairs: Prioritize devices for tested grades (3-8 & HS). Non-testing grade repairs can wait until the "Tier 1" queue is clear.
✅ Shorten the Loop: Your loaner fleet is only as big as your repair vendor is fast. A 5-day turnaround means you need fewer spares than a 15-day turnaround. Speed is your best resource.
✅ Coordinate WITH Coordinators: Sit down with your Testing Coordinators this month. Matching their schedule to your repair return dates prevents last-minute emergencies.
The goal? Testing should be a checkpoint, not a crisis.
