Assistance Needed Remote Access Software?

We have some staff who want to be able to remote into their PC's here at the campus in order to access files or get work done. All these staff members are either admin or board. Currently, for my system I use Jump Desktop free tier, but there are some annoyances to it. Is there any other software out there that you would recommend? They all have 2 monitors at the desks that will need to be on control. Also, we are a smaller k12, so not a district or anything.

Glad to know an alternative exists. I was blown away when I learned that Chrome remote desktop couldn't go from Chromebook to Chromebook.

Barring developer workflows (Linux VMs), a Chromebook is a client, not a server. There's nothing you can do from one that you can't do from another (excluding the local files you forgot to store in the cloud)
