Klein Independent School District: Case Study with InfoCase Protective Sleeves for Tablet PCs

Background

Located just outside of Houston, Texas, Klein ISD is a rapid growth district with over 41,000 students, 4500 employees on 35 campuses. Klein ISD’s and their technology team mission is transforming teaching and learning through technology and to assure that all students have access to 21st century resources, as well as teachers who are prepared and skilled to use technology effectively to assure the academic success of all students.

Challenge

Klein’s goal was to provide tablet devices at Krimmel Intermediate School for 6-8 graders. As the team at Klein researched similar programs throughout the country, they became concerned about the high probability of damage to their computers without a protective case. Nationwide, annual damage rates were typically 30-35%. This resulted in not only increased costs to districts in repair, but also more “soft” costs in downtime and potential data loss. Armed with this information, the team at Klein began investigating various alternatives which would reduce such occurrences at Krimmel.

The goal would be to not only effectively reduce damage costs and improve the districts Total Cost of Ownership, but also work to keep machines in the hands of the students for round the clock learning.

Solution 

After careful consideration, Klein chose an InfoCase Protective Sleeve to protect their tablet PCs. The lightweight sleeve design is engineered to resist compression and the molded foam shell protects machines. When placed in a student’s backpack of choice it is protected from impact and damage caused by pressure from textbooks and other items. 

Result

The data compiled by Klein midway through the Academic year showed that out of 1300 units, only 30 were damaged. This equates to a damage rate of only 2.3%! Annualized over a year’s time, this would translate to a total of 60 machines, or 4.6%, much lower than the 30-35% national average.
