Basehor-Linwood School District is dedicated to equipping students with the tools they need for academic success in a technology-driven world. With a commitment to maintaining up-to-date technology, the district prioritizes annual student device refreshes as a cornerstone of their IT strategy.
Since 2015, Basehor-Linwood School District has partnered with Synetic Technologies to manage their IT asset disposition (ITAD) processes. This long-standing collaboration underscores a shared focus on sustainability, efficiency, and maximizing the value of retired devices.
The district’s dynamic technology environment requires meticulous planning and execution for device refreshes. Additionally, while the district is certified to perform its own Apple Care+ warranty repairs, an influx of damaged devices shortly before the start of the school year posed a significant challenge. With their internal IT team already stretched thin, Basehor-Linwood needed a trusted partner to step in and provide repair support without disrupting ongoing projects.
Synetic Technologies provided a comprehensive suite of ITAD and repair services tailored to Basehor-Linwood School District’s needs:
ITAD Services for Device Refreshes: Synetic worked closely with the district to streamline the annual refresh process, ensuring that retired devices were securely and sustainably disposed.
Reselling of Devices to Staff: To maximize the value of the devices, Synetic set up a dedicated website allowing district staff to purchase laptops from the refresh inventory—a program that was met with high satisfaction.
Repair Assistance During Critical Periods: When the district faced a high volume of damaged devices before the school year, Synetic stepped in to provide repair support. This enabled the district’s IT team to focus on other critical projects, ensuring a smooth start to the academic year.
With the help of Synetic, Basehor-Linwood was able to achieve seamless device refreshes. The annual refreshes became more predictable and efficient with support by Synetic’s reliable ITAD services and innovative resale program for district staff. Basehor-Linwood School District’s partnership with Synetic Technologies continues to evolve, with both organizations committed to supporting the district’s mission of academic excellence through technology. As the district’s needs grow, Synetic remains ready to deliver innovative solutions that address the challenges of modern education.
