We’re committed to providing schools with the best-in-class tools for the classroom, including Chromebooks, which are the #1 selling device in US K-12 education, and a strong and growing ecosystem ofeducational apps. We’ll continue to support our Google Play for Education customers and the devices that they have purchased.” – Google Spokesman
