18 Aug: Best Buy Education Helps Schools — Not Just Students — Prepare For Distance Learning

With the school year fast approaching, a Texas school district was scrambling to find the technology required for students to engage in distance learning during the pandemic.

The district needed Chromebooks. Lots of them.

Administrators placed an order with their usual tech provider, only to learn that company wouldn’t be able to fulfill it in time for the start of school. So, they turned to Best Buy for help.

Four business days later, they had secured almost 1,700 Chromebooks for their school.
