Kansas City Public Schools is proud to announce we are transitioning to an “all-Apple district.”
As our enrollment rates continue to rise, district leadership is investing in student technologies that meet the needs of today and grow alongside the needs of the future.
Over time, we will replace more than 30,000 Windows PC and Chromebooks with the more secure, durable, and reliable Apple devices. Already, 4,500+ MacBook Neos have been procured for students in 8th grade and up, while lower grades have access to the district’s existing iPads and MacBook Airs.
“Students are now proud of their schools because they have the best products," said KCPS Chief Technology Officer Scott Jones.
Notably, this transition was highlighted in the recent Q2 2026 Apple Earnings Call, with Apple Earnings sharing the following comment:
“Across the Mac lineup, customers are finding the right device for their needs — from MacBook Pro and MacBook Air to our newest addition, MacBook Neo, which delivers an unprecedented combination of quality, value, and industry-leading security that is resonating strongly in Enterprise and Education. Kansas City Public Schools, for example, is switching their high school students from Windows laptops and Chromebooks to MacBook Neo, completing their transition to an all-Apple district.”
This decision reflects our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality education from day one, and we're excited to bring about such a positive change.
