Ogdensburg City School District, with a total of 750 students in both the middle school and high school, faced significant challenges in managing devices amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Bob Ladouceur, responsible for the district's device management, sought innovative solutions to streamline operations and provide seamless support to students.
Challenge: Cumbersome Device Charging and Distribution
With a large student body and the transition to remote and hybrid learning due to the pandemic, Ogdensburg City School District needed a robust system to manage device charging and distribution efficiently. Traditional methods were inconvenient and time-consuming, demanding significant manual intervention from Ladouceur.
Discovery of FUYL™ Smart Locker System Charging Towers
Amidst the challenges, Ladouceur discovered LocknCharge's FUYL towers, recognizing their ability to address the school's needs effectively. The towers offered a convenient solution for students to charge their devices wherever they were in the building, minimizing disruptions to learning and maximizing productivity.
Integration of L21 Kiosk System
Realizing the need for further optimization, Ladouceur was delighted to learn about LocknCharge and Learn21's collaboration to provide a comprehensive kiosk system for device management. This integration allowed Ladouceur to assign devices to specific bays, enabling students to easily access loaner devices as needed.

Students could now effortlessly retrieve loaner devices by simply inputting their student ID and swapping out their own devices. The automated notification system facilitated smooth transitions and enabled Ladouceur to track device assets and repairs efficiently.
