Case Study: Schalmont Central School District achieves a reliable, easy-to-manage 1:1-ready network with Cisco Meraki

Schalmont Central School District - Customer Case Study

Schalmont Central School District, with more than 1,800 students, over 300 teachers and staff, and a single IT administrator, faced a fragmented, hard-to-manage network with spotty wireless and little visibility—risks that threatened its 1:1 device initiative. The district chose Cisco Meraki for a cost-effective, simple, future-proof solution that could reliably support more than 1,000 teacher and student devices.

Cisco Meraki deployed about 200 802.11ac Meraki MR access points, Meraki switches and Systems Manager MDM, all managed through a cloud dashboard. The district gained real-time client visibility, quick remote troubleshooting (cable tests and pings in minutes), dynamic topology mapping, easy BYOD credentialing and fast app/textbook deployment—measurable outcomes that reliably support the 1:1 program and have significantly reduced technician time and on-site troubleshooting.
