Case Study: Blue Springs School District achieves equal access to technology for every student with Microsoft Corporation Surface and Office 365

School district levels the playing field with Surface for every student

Blue Springs School District, a large K-12 district in the Kansas City area, wanted to prepare students for a technology-rich future while staying within tight budget constraints and ensuring equal access to devices for all learners. To address the digital divide, the district turned to Microsoft Corporation products and services including Surface Go, Surface Book 2, Office 365, Teams, and OneNote.

Microsoft Corporation helped Blue Springs School District implement a consistent device and software ecosystem by giving each student a Surface Go while equipping teachers with Surface Book 2 devices. The rollout improved collaboration, saved teachers time, and expanded access to learning from anywhere through Teams and OneNote; it also reduced costs by replacing some graphing calculator needs and made deployment easier, with the district noting Surface was the fastest device it had ever imaged.
