One-Man IT Staff Builds Support for K–12 School from the Ground Up
Working against looming deadlines, The Lincoln Academy public charter school partnered with corporate and community stakeholders to build a STEM-infused K–12 program integrating tech throughout all grades, just in time to welcome its first incoming class in September 2021.
The 115,000-square-foot charter school in Beloit, Wis., exposes students to academic and vocational learning tracks, including welding, agricultural science and EMT classes in more than 17 specially designed labs and learning spaces.
Director of Technology Marc Anderson, The Lincoln Academy’s one-man IT team, worked closely with Chief Education Officer Kristi Cole to optimize and future-proof the school by building out the tech infrastructure, standing up a single-pane network management system and coordinating wireless content sharing for flexible learning.
