From the Greek word meaning “work together”, synergy is the interaction or cooperation of two or more agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. The summer break is yet busy with closing out the academic year and beginning a new one with shiny wax on the floors, wet paint on the walls, and the promise of a fresh start. In retrospect, there are so many people who synergize to prepare for the first day of school; teachers, custodians, bus drivers, food service workers, nurses, community members, resource officers, counselors, paraprofessionals, network admin, etc. Whoever you are working with to get your school ready to welcome students, take a moment to reflect on the collaboration taking place and the upcoming end result: an amazing 2024-2025 academic year.

Q: When graduating students attempt to use Takeout they are getting an “Unavailable Services” error. What could be causing this?

A: This error is typically caused by a mismatch between Google Additional services being off for students while Takeout is set to allow export. To correct the error, in the Admin Console go to Data > Data import & export > Google Takeout. The top item “Services without an individual admin control” will apply to core services such as Gmail and Drive. Additional services will be listed individually below. If you have restricted any of these additional services for students, you’ll want to set them to “Not Allowed.”
