The Partners in Education (P.I.E.)
Schools prepare the future workforce. Businesses depend on that workforce. When schools and businesses work together, everyone wins.
We call this a Win-Win-Win:
Win for Business
Access to and development of future talent
Win for the District
Stronger operations and technology support
Win for Students
Real skills and career paths close to home
Community Integration
When we share a passion, we can support school operations while also helping students build their future.
“True partnership means showing up for our educators. When we invest our resources into the classroom, the return is a stronger, more vibrant community for all” JOHN PROPER
Our Mission
To prevent professional burnout and student disengagement by creating a lifetime of learning, with clear paths for young talent to grow, work, and succeed.
ProTect IT: Executive Summary & Strategic Alignment

K-12 Managed Copy & Print Services (MPS): What This Means for Staff
Maximizing Budgets. Minimizing Downtime.
ProServ helps districts regain control over printing costs while ensuring teachers have reliable equipment for daily instruction.
“Reduce print costs by 30-50% while improving security and classroom uptime.”
Since 1988, we’ve partnered with 60+ K-12 schools to deliver reliable MPS solutions.
Local, On-Site Support
Qualified technicians come to your school in person for faster fixes. No remote-only guesswork.
Technology Life Cycle Planning
A 3-6 year plan to replace outdated equipment without
surprise costs.
Increased Reliability
Higher uptime so classroom materials are ready when the bell rings.
MPS: What This Means for Students
High Tech + Low Tech. Education today isn’t digital or paper. It’s both.
During COVID, schools shifted heavily to screens. Many districts saw learning gaps grow. By maintaining a healthy balance of technology and ‘pencil to paper,’ we help districts support a hybrid model that builds well-rounded, capable students, not just screen users.
Research shows that handwriting and physical materials help students:
- Retain information better
- Think more clearly
- Process ideas more deeply
Screen-Free Focus
Reduces digital fatigue and minimizes distractions.
Hands-On Learning
Helps students rebuild independent thinking skills.
Equal Access
Bridges the gap for students who lack reliable internet at home.
Ready to Learn
Eliminates tech delays so class starts the second the bell rings.
