The current NL package is $530 for chromebook for my daughters class next year. This is out of reach for some parents. I have just purchased a chromebook for $220 from PB Tech. The only issue is that now we need to have Google Management Console loaded and pay for a licence $40 and then IT labour to load it ~$50 - 60. Does anyone have any information on the instructions and what is involved to loading the console ourselves. Or perhaps is will be more economic to run a night session where parents bring in their device and load it in a 'workshop'. Any thoughts?

I do question whether the current advertised and heavily promoted NL package is competitive given there are 100 plus chromebook purchased each year by one school alone.
