Gaggle is a cloud based K-12 solution that provide schools communication and collaboration solutions through Web 2.0 tools, and email integration. 

 

Gaggle acts as the district’s email infrastructure allowing for a robust archival system, reduction in costs for antivirus and spam mitigation, and low cost of administration and operation allowing the district to offer email to staff and students in grades 4 -12.  Attachments have been uploaded to fully describe at granularity the functionality and services provided. 

 

Due to changes in the E-Rate Modernization Order finalized in January of 2015, the services that our district had previously claimed are no longer eligible for reimbursement.
