Linewize Selected as a Preferred Technology Provider for Ohio Schools in a Strategic Partnership with the Management Council

Linewize, the North American division of global safety and student wellbeing leader Qoria, recently announced a preferred vendor partnership with the Management Council. The Management Council, in partnership with Ohio’s Information Technology Centers (ITCs), delivers academic and administrative technologies to the state’s K-12 school districts. The organization and its various technical and educational divisions, including INFOhio, Ohio K12 Help, and SSDT Educational Software Solutions, help ensure that school staff and students have access to the support, software, and digital resources they need to succeed.   

Under the agreement, Linewize has been selected as one of only two preferred vendors for student safety and wellbeing. Ohio school districts will have access to Linewize’s entire technology portfolio, which includes filtering, classroom management, monitoring, community, and student wellbeing measurement solutions, with transparent pricing and ongoing support. 

Linewize will work closely with the Management Council and Ohio’s ITCs to ensure every school district in Ohio is aware of the new opportunity to leverage Linewize’s technology. The goal is for more students, teachers, staff, and parents to receive the tools they need to successfully navigate the unique challenges of today’s educational environment. 

“This partnership is a result of Linewize’s ongoing efforts to form new and deeply strategic relationships that enable us to reach more districts and, in turn, more students,” said Jordan Vandyke, vice president of sales, east, at Linewize. “We are grateful for the opportunity to work with the Management Council and provide schools across Ohio with access to our robust platform, helping them better manage the current state of the digital landscape.” 

The Management Council coordinates and supports the efforts of the Ohio Education Computer Network (OECN), which serves more than 1.8 million students in 1,000+ public school districts, parochial schools, career centers, and community schools. 

“As technology advocates for Ohio’s K-12 stakeholders, we understand and recognize the importance of online safety and wellbeing tools in classrooms — especially as we face new and continuous challenges associated with student wellness, AI, and more,” said Geoff Andrews, chief executive officer of the Management Council. “We are confident that Linewize’s solutions will make a positive impact statewide.”
