Key Statistics
Overview
Piqua City Schools serves more than 3,000 students across five schools in Piqua, Ohio, and supports more than 500 staff. The district is committed to preparing every student for a bright and purposeful future through a well-rounded education (intellectual, social, and physical) and to supporting academic success, responsible digital citizenship, and modern learning. The Technology Department treats technology as a powerful tool for learning and prepares students to be ethical, responsible digital citizens who can use current technology and adapt to future innovations.
Piqua City Schools's Challenge
Piqua City Schools needed hybrid web filtering that worked on and off campus: granular controls on the school network plus visibility and control when students and staff were elsewhere. The district also needed stronger protection against online threats wherever learning happened, and greater awareness of concerning online searches and activity so staff could respond for student safety.
Piqua City Schools's iboss Solution
iboss delivers hybrid web filtering for the district. On campus, on-premises hardware provides granular network control. Off campus, the iboss cloud extends visibility and control. iboss AI Safety Detection adds awareness of concerning searches. Together, on-premises and cloud filtering give detailed control on campus and consistent visibility and protection beyond the school network. Granular network controls also support distraction-free digital learning so teachers can keep classrooms focused on appropriate instructional tools.
With digital learning extending beyond our school walls, keeping our students and staff safe online in every environment is our top priority. iboss gives us the exact balance we need: combining granular on-premises control on campus with seamless cloud protection everywhere else. Beyond the platform itself, the iboss support team has been an outstanding partner, working side-by-side with us to navigate and resolve even our most complex filtering requirements. Their expertise and responsiveness have made them an invaluable asset over the years.
