Hmm... looking at the devices connected to the network here, iPads outnumber Chromebooks by 24/7 for school district owned devices. The student BYOD devices are more Windows or Mac laptops with iPads a distant third closely followed by Chromebooks.
Part of this is special needs preferring iPads due to the software and the cases to protect the iPad from abuse, part is due to the availability of software for K-7 on the iPad platform compared to the lack of software for Chromebooks. We are testing some Android software on Chromebooks but so far, it's been less than impressive.
We also have not manged to find anything for Chromebooks or Android tablets that even attempts to match the Apple VPP for Education program for convenience.
