Unable to send AirDrop files on iPad

I have an 11th Gen iPad running IOS 27.0.1. It is a managed device at our school. I am able to receive AirDrop files but I cannot send AirDrop files. This process works fine with our school devices, and seems to be specific to this iPad. I've double checked that there are no screen time limitations, and I haven't been able to find any other causes. Can anyone help with this?

Any applied policies may not be obvious from the device settings of your centrally managed iPad.


Any issues, or applied usage restrictions, will need to be discussed with the System Administrator that manages your school iPad.
