Case Study: Hopewell City Public Schools achieves secure, cloud-first remote learning for 6,200 students with iboss

How Hopewell City Public Schools keeps students safe while innovating with iboss cloud

Hopewell City Public Schools, a seven‑campus district serving about 6,200 students and staff from age 2 through grade 12, needed a fast way to keep one‑to‑one devices safe and CIPA‑compliant when COVID‑19 pushed learning remote. The district turned to iboss, migrating from an on‑prem solution to the iboss Cloud Platform to provide filtered, visible, and secure access for students and staff outside the school network.

iboss deployed its SASE/cloud solution and cloud connectors, removing gateway appliances and the single point of failure while enabling SSL inspection, granular reporting, and simple device deployment. The move secured all 6,200 users with always‑on protection, reduced data backhaul and data center footprint, ensured CIPA compliance regardless of location, and freed the small IT team to focus on student and teacher technology needs.
