Device management, laptop and Chromebook repair, classroom technology upkeep and student training for private, independent and charter schools — from a local Towson team that already supports Baltimore-area businesses and runs an authorized testing center.
Public school districts have IT departments. Most private and charter schools have a teacher or office manager who "knows computers." We give you the technical team without the full-time salary.
The federal E-Rate program can cover a large share of the cost of school network upgrades, and many nonprofit private and charter schools are eligible. RTS is a registered E-Rate service provider, so eligible network work we do for your school can be funded through the program.
E-Rate eligibility and discount levels are set by the program administrator (USAC) and depend on your school.
RTS operates an authorized testing center in Towson for CompTIA and other IT certification exams. For high schools building career and technical education, that means a local partner for both the training and the exam itself. Students can earn industry certifications like CompTIA A+ before they graduate.
Our Stress-Less Study Prep program helps students prepare, and our team can speak to classes about careers in IT, cybersecurity and AI.
Ongoing support: a monthly plan covering helpdesk for staff, scheduled on-site visits, device management and network monitoring.
Project work: summer device refreshes, Wi-Fi upgrades, classroom display installs or a single batch of repairs.
Either way it starts with a free technology review of your devices, network and classrooms, so you get a clear plan and a firm quote.
