Hello all! If you’re reading this, you’ve made your way over to the K12sysadmin community on lemmy.world - welcome aboard!
Unfortunately, the K12sysadmin subreddit announced in a now-deleted post that they have no intention to support the blackout. Attempts to chat with the head moderator about this issue have been met with modmail mutes. Although that is their choice, that leaves those of us who won’t be using Reddit moving forward without refuge.
I have been a longtime contributor to r/K12sysadmin, and I am an active K12 Systems Administrator within the New England area. Professionally focused forums/listservs have been an invaluable resource throughout my career, and I owe so much to my colleagues who have lent their time and expertise to those trying to find out footing within this space.
I am opening [email protected] in hopes that we can foster a similar community within the fediverse - I hope you’ll join me! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns :)

Hey! Thanks for making this a party of two :)
We’re a much smaller school district than you - we have around ~150 staff members, 1300 students, and 6 sites. Our department consists of a Director, Sysadmin (howdy!), and a Netadmin - its a small team, so we end up wearing plenty of hats as they relate to our titles (and, as expected, many that aren’t related)
We’re a 1:1 Chromebook district, with 1:1 Windows device issuances to specific STEM pathways & our district admin team. We’re primarily a workspace district, but we have somewhere to the tune of ~200 Intune managed desktops in district (I migrated us from on-prem/SCCM managed over the past year). For on-prem, I manage a spattering of baremetal DCs (slated to replace this summer) & our core VSphere cluster.
We have a large tech department, split into 3 units. Tech services does the user facing stuff; tech infrastructure does the back end servers, network, cloud; and tech apps does the big apps like our ERP system and SIS. Probably 50 people across all 3 units.
