Defaults are not a strategy
A new Google environment still needs intentional decisions about identity, services, security, devices, and organizational structure.
Solutions
Start with a Google environment built for how your school works.
KickStart configures core Google Admin, service, and Chrome settings around your goals, then gives your team documentation and training to manage the environment with confidence.
