The technology backbone for west‑central Ohio school districts.

WOCO connects, hosts, and supports the technology, fiscal, and student‑data systems member districts rely on every day — so district staff can focus on students, not servers.

What we do

Four departments, one point of contact.

WOCO works alongside your district's own technology, treasurer, EMIS, and student-services staff, giving them shared systems, specialized expertise, and responsive support that would be hard for any one district to maintain on its own.

Technical Services

Highly available internet, WiFi, content filtering, firewalls, virtual server hosting, offsite storage, and network design for member districts.
