What Will IT Support Cost for My School?

Let’s Keep It Simple.

At Schoolhouse IT, we believe you shouldn’t have to sit through a sales pitch just to understand what working with us might cost.

That’s why we’ve laid out some real-world examples. These aren’t made-up scenarios—they reflect actual support plans we provide to schools across Montana and the surrounding region. You’ll see what kind of support is included, and what typical costs look like based on your size and setup.

We’ll always talk through the details before we send you a contract, but this should give you a solid starting point.
