Schools, districts, and universities retire devices by the thousands: one-to-one student laptops, lab equipment, and administrative systems that carry student records protected under FERPA. American Circular is built to retire them securely at scale and return value to stretched budgets.
Student data leaves the building on old devices
Student records, health information, and financial aid data live on retired machines long after the replacement carts arrive. FERPA obligations don't end at the loading dock: they end when the data is provably destroyed and the device is accounted for. Our serial-level chain of custody gives districts and universities documentation that stands up to an audit.
Built for education
- Bulk pickup timed to summer refresh windows and semester breaks
- Serial-level inventory reconciled against district or university asset tags
- NIST 800-88 destruction with certificates for FERPA and board documentation
- Resale value on retired one-to-one fleets returned to your budget: at least 60%, up to 75% of resale value
- Local Tampa Bay processing, so equipment purchased with public funds stays accountable
Frequently asked questions
Can you handle an entire district refresh at once?
Yes. Bulk pickups are scheduled around your refresh window, and every device is inventoried at the serial level so your records reconcile cleanly.
Do retired student laptops have resale value?
Often, yes. We test and remarket working devices and return at least 60%, up to 75% of resale value, which many schools apply directly against the next refresh.
