In the ever-evolving landscape of K-12 education, turnover is a constant reality. From students graduating, transferring, enrolling, and dropping out to administrators transitioning in and out of roles, the turnover rates in both student and administrative populations can present unique challenges for technology account management. 

The Revolving Door of Technology Management   

Turnover among students and administrators can create a revolving door of technology account provisioning and deprovisioning. Account provisioning occurs when a user creates and modifies new accounts for administrators or students. In contrast, account deprovisioning occurs when a user removes account access to applications, systems, and data.

As students move through the education system, they accumulate accounts for various technology platforms and software programs. Similarly, administrators inherit responsibility for managing these accounts as they onboard into their roles.

Provisioning and deprovisioning accounts in a timely and efficient manner is essential for maintaining the security and integrity of the technology infrastructure. However, the process can become increasingly complex and time-consuming when dealing with high turnover rates and a diverse technology portfolio.  

More Doesn’t Always Mean Better 

Managing old accounts and provisioning new ones can become overwhelming for overburdened staff, leading to delays and errors in account management. Moreover, continuing to keep multiple technology solutions in play only exacerbates the problem, as each platform requires its own provisioning and deprovisioning process.
