From Refresh to Recurring: The K-12 Sustainability Opportunity
While every education-technology headline is chasing AI, district technology leaders are facing a quieter, harder reckoning. In this episode of Ready. Set. Scale., host Shannon Tomlinson unpacks the K-12 sustainability cliff: roughly $190 billion in one-time federal ESSER relief has fully expired, and the tens of millions of Chromebooks it bought are hitting auto-update expiration just as Windows 10 reaches end-of-life — all at once, with no replacement funding in sight. The result is a fundamental shift from “What should we buy?” to “What's actually worth keeping?” — and a major opening for the channel. Shannon breaks down how partners turn that pressure into a recurring-revenue advisory relationship through device-as-a-service, lifecycle planning, and certified IT asset disposition that recovers real budget value. Plus a Byte-Sized Fix for starting the conversation with a district that has no money to spend. Learn more at scansource.com/marketresourcecenter.
