Google Apps for Education allows school districts to manage Chrome apps and extensions for teachers and students. Managed apps and extensions are available when a user is logged onto a WL Google Account. There are two different ways that apps and extensions are made available to students and staff:
Google does not support Chrome APPS on Windows devices; only chromebooks. EXTENSIONS are supported on any device.

If possible, test out the app or extension on a personal Gmail account to determine its usefulness. Fill out a help desk ticket and include whether you recommend the app/extension is added for teachers and/or students. It is important that the district abide by user and privacy agreements.
