Meridian IT Support for Brewster Central School District

This case study outlines the collaboration between Meridian IT and Brewster Central School District to enhance technology integration within the educational environment. Brewster Central School District, serving approximately 3,000 students and employing 450 staff members, faced challenges related to network limitations and knowledge gaps after a key employee left. Meridian IT provided expertise to support the district's growth and transition, acting as an extension of their team. The Meridian team conducted an analysis of the existing environment, assessed security policies, and made recommendations for improvements. Key actions included relocating the ARP table for better performance and adding a second Palo Alto firewall for redundancy. As a result, Brewster's IT department gained more time to focus on strategic projects, while students benefited from improved access to technology and online resources. This partnership exemplifies how targeted technological support can address specific challenges in an educational setting.
