Retire a thousand student devices without losing a single serial.
For school districts, university IT, and 1:1 device programs running refresh cycles on thousands of student devices. Every device carrying student records is sanitized to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, pickup logistics are handled at no cost for qualifying 50+ unit lots across Texas, and the serialized Certificate of Destruction is one your superintendent and counsel can rely on.
What education teams need from ITAD.
Not marketing requirements — the ones your compliance office actually reviews when retired hardware leaves the building.
1:1 refresh cycles produce thousands of devices at once
A typical K-12 1:1 program retires 1,000–5,000 Chromebooks every 3–4 years — all carrying cached student data and roster information. Intake has to keep up, and it has to be reconciled on paper.
Mixed-age fleets across many campuses
Laptops, desktops, monitors, projectors, and the long tail of accessories — spread across multiple sites with limited IT staff to coordinate. Every campus is a pickup origin; every asset needs one record.
Tight budgets — buyback revenue matters
Refresh budgets are stretched. The buyback revenue from resaleable hardware can fund a non-trivial portion of next year’s rollout — if the revenue share is transparent and tied to your pickup.
A vendor your compliance file can defend
Vendor review asks who touches your media, under which certifications, audited by whom. The answers have to be third-party-verifiable — not self-declared.
What we run against each need.
Every line below is a verified, third-party-audited capability — no promises that aren’t written at a station on the Dallas floor.

Certs →What this does — and doesn’t — claim. No vendor can make a district or university FERPA-compliant, and we won’t claim to. VIG supports your compliance program: third-party-verified process controls, per-serial records, and the destruction documentation your student-privacy obligations require. Your program stays yours; ours documents its disposal controls.
