How CTS packages work for schools

Two base IT packages (Essentials or Total Care), plus two cybersecurity layers (Protection and Advisory) you can add to either one. Most charters CTS works with run TCP plus MCP.

ESS

Essentials Package

Co-managed IT for schools with an internal tech lead. Your team owns the front line; CTS owns the escalations, monitoring, and strategy.

24x7 network + server monitoring
Patch management + AV
Quarterly strategic reviews
E-Rate planning support

Best fit when you have a dedicated and resourced IT team.

Unlimited business-hours helpdesk for staff + students

Defaults below are CTS's best estimate for Uncharted Shores based on public data. Adjust any number that doesn't match reality. Totals update as you type.

1. Base package

ESS skips per-user and per-student-device pricing (it assumes you have internal IT handling tickets). TCP is all-inclusive.

2. Staff & devices

Staff (users) Faculty + admin on managed accounts.

Student devices Managed Chromebooks, laptops, tablets used by students.

Network devices (non-E-Rate) Switches, firewalls, WAPs, controllers, UPS, cameras, access-control. Tiered.

Servers Windows/Linux servers under CTS management. Flat per-server rate.

Phone systems Managed phone systems (on-prem or cloud). Flat per-system rate.

Internet connections (ISPs) Each managed circuit. Flat per-ISP rate.

3. Onsite days / month

First day each month is included with the package. After that, the per-day rate kicks in (rate depends on how many days you book).

4. E-Rate Managed Services (MIBS)

Include MIBS line items

E-Rate Category 2 eligible. CTS bills full price; you receive E-Rate reimbursement at your C2 discount rate (USA is at 80%).

MIBS core network devices E-Rate Cat 2 MIBS-eligible core devices. $60 / device / month.

MIBS WiFi / UPS devices E-Rate Cat 2 MIBS-eligible WAPs or UPS units. $12 / device / month.

C2 discount rate USA's E-Rate Category 2 discount (defaults to 80%).

5. Cybersecurity add-ons

Managed Cyber Protection (MCP)

24x7 SOC + EDR + cloud threat detection + SIEM + phishing protection + GW/M365 backup. $18 / user / month.

Managed Cyber Advisory (MCA) — Standard

NIST-aligned policy development, risk register, quarterly review calls. 24 advisory hrs / yr (overage at $225/hr). $450 / month flat.

Rates are CTS's published EDU rate card for FY2025-26 and reflect what we'd quote a charter school of USA's size. Final pricing is governed by the executed ConnectWise quote, which typically applies a 100% onboarding discount on TCP and MCP implementation. This page is a planning tool, not a contract.
