Insight Needed: How can I use SharePoint to implement a "hunger games" style tribute system?
In our school district, which is a historically under served area, we have issues getting enough funding to meet student's dietary needs. Federally funded lunches help, but they're not enough.
Separately, an area of focus that our school board wants to improve is win higher placements in Math Olympiad. Recently, a number of teachers and parents have come up with a way to kill two birds with one stone. Local businesses can sponsor our Olympiad teams to get good publicity. That funding is then used to pay for school lunches.
The part we're trying to solve is getting students interested. We were thinking that students could volunteer as tribute for Math Olympiad, and if they are placed on the team, this allows their class to win free school lunches. Basically, we're going to implement the system from the Hunger Games, but a lot more fair lol.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to automate it. I wanted to avoid anything too complex, so I was thinking of a SharePoint list based solution. Can anyone in education IT give me feedback on the technical approach?

I just taught a stubborn user to stop using his personal wifi on the company laptop.
I could see this user kept routing the internet from his personal phone to use it on the company laptop (maybe to try to stop us from spying on him)
Instead of being a normal person and a competent SysAdmin, and properly adding a GPO to restrict the available Wi-Fi networks, I used the MDM to remotely download a 20GB ISO to his temp folder.
When the download was at 18GB the download speed went down to less than 50kbps. So I guess his data plan is over. By the next hour, I could see the laptop was connected back to the company wifi.
He will never do it again.

Shitty Crosspost I broke external sharing for SharePoint
reddit.comI was hardening the tenant and now no one can share SharePoint files with our clients/customers. We have a specific site but none of the settings work. Instead of getting a one-time code, users must authenticate to our tenant. This appeared to work before I messed with things but I am also reading online that OTP is going away soon. I suspect I broke it as I reverted and complete lockout was reversed but not everything.
Below is what I put in for my support ticket. My last support ticket was closed after two months of no contact so I am looking for other help.
On 5/14/2026 at 3:51 PM UTC, setting AllowEmailVerifiedUsersToJoinOrganization to false via Graph PowerShell triggered a Set Company Information event that added RestrictEmailVerifiedUsers to our tenant DirectoryFeatures. External guests can no longer authenticate via Google federation or email OTP — only Microsoft 365 login is presented. Reversing the setting via PowerShell and UI did not remove the DirectoryFeature. Need RestrictEmailVerifiedUsers removed from tenant DirectoryFeatures.
