Setting up a Work Profile on a Personal Android device

This article instructs in how to install the Google Work Profile on one's mobile device. This does not in any way grant the district access to your personal information on your device. It is an app that keeps your personal and work data separate and allows the district to distribute work apps and protect district data.
