Case Study: York Region District School Board saves $200,000 with Lexmark Attendance Scanning Solution

York Region District School Board saves $200,000 over five years with Lexmark

The York Region District School Board (YRDSB) faced a critical challenge when its decade-old proprietary attendance scanners became incompatible with a new student information system and virtualized operating environment just weeks before the new school year. This created an emergency, as the existing method using pre-printed bubble sheets was also costly and inefficient. The district turned to vendor Lexmark for a solution.

Lexmark rapidly implemented its Attendance Scanning Solution, which utilized Lexmark multifunction products and custom software. The solution was fully compatible and deployed across all 31 secondary schools in less than four weeks. This resulted in the school board saving nearly $200,000 over five years by eliminating the need for expensive pre-printed forms and outdated hardware, while significantly improving operational efficiency.
