Case Study: Toronto District School Board achieves secure, automated rostering with Clever

Toronto District School Board automates roster sync for 500k users with Clever

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB), Canada's largest school board, faced a significant challenge with manual and inefficient rostering across its vast ecosystem of learning applications. Their stretched IT team needed a smarter, more secure way to manage student data without adding to their workload. They turned to vendor Clever for a solution to automate this process and enhance data privacy.

Clever implemented a customizable, automated rostering solution that synced data from TDSB's PowerSchool SIS. This eliminated all manual data entry, ensured applications like GoGuardian, Canva, and Education Perfect received only the specific data they needed, and allowed for seasonal sync pausing. The results were transformative: IT operations were streamlined, teachers gained class-level access to tools, and a scalable, auditable foundation for data security was established for over 500,000 students and staff.
