Secure Data Destruction for Oldsmar Schools
Student information lives on more than laptops. STS's Oldsmar data destruction service sanitizes laptops, copiers, servers and network gear with methods aligned with NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2. That includes Chromebooks, lab desktops, teacher workstations and the shared office copiers.

Call (844) 699-2913Capacity for one classroom cleanout or a full district refresh
STS processed 1,366,386 IT assets in the most recent full reporting period, across jobs of every size. The figures below are the operating baseline, not a peak.
An undocumented device is a finding waiting to happen
A school device refresh passes through many buildings, carts and hands. The exposure sits in reconciliation: a laptop leaves a cart, and a few units never reach any report. Serial level records close that gap by tying every device back to the original asset register.
A district on the scale of Pinellas County Schools, one of the largest in the U.S., shows why serial level records matter. Reconciliation across many buildings is where audit findings start.
