Linewize Partners with Ohio Schools for Enhanced Student Safety and Wellbeing Initiatives

Linewize Chooses Ohio Schools for Strategic Partnership

In a significant move aimed at bolstering student safety and wellbeing across educational institutions in Ohio, Linewize, the North American division of the renowned global safety and student wellbeing leader Qoria, has entered into a strategic partnership with the Management Council. This collaboration ensures that Linewize's extensive portfolio of technology solutions is made available to school districts throughout Ohio, establishing it as a preferred vendor.

What This Partnership Entails

The partnership was officially announced on April 8, 2025, and marks a pivotal moment not only for Linewize but also for the educational landscape in Ohio. Under this agreement, Ohio's K-12 schools will gain access to a wide range of services aimed at enhancing student safety. This includes filtering, classroom management tools, monitoring capabilities, and measurement solutions for community and student wellbeing—all backed by assured pricing and ongoing support.

The Management Council, in conjunction with Ohio's Information Technology Centers (ITCs), is responsible for providing essential academic and administrative technologies to school districts, ensuring that educators and students have the necessary digital resources to thrive. As one of only two preferred technology providers, Linewize is set to play a crucial role in this initiative.

Jordan Vandyke, Linewize's Vice President of Sales for the eastern region, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to partner with the Management Council. "This partnership is a result of ongoing efforts to establish strategic relationships that allow us to reach more districts and ultimately more students. We are eager to provide support that enables schools to navigate today’s complex digital challenges more effectively," he stated.

The Importance of Online Safety in Education

Given the increasing reliance on technology within educational settings, ensuring student safety online is more critical than ever. As part of the Management Council’s mission, resources such as INFOhio, Ohio K12 Help, and SSDT Educational Software Solutions help amplify the support provided to school personnel and students alike.

Geoff Andrews, the CEO of the Management Council, highlighted the pressing need for online safety and wellbeing tools. "As advocates for K-12 stakeholders in Ohio, we understand the challenges surrounding student wellness today. This partnership with Linewize aims to tackle issues related to online safety, particularly as we encounter new and continual challenges including the rise of artificial intelligence and other innovations. We are confident that Linewize's comprehensive solutions will have a meaningful impact across the state."

With these advanced solutions, Linewize's mission is to create a safer online environment for students, helping school districts effectively respond to the challenges posed by today’s digital world.
