Case Study: Baldwin County Public Schools improves edtech visibility and student engagement with Lightspeed Systems

Baldwin County Public Schools boosts edtech visibility and tracks 27,000 students online with Lightspeed Systems

Baldwin County Public Schools faced challenges in tracking student and staff application usage on district-owned devices, raising significant data privacy and security compliance concerns. The district also lacked visibility into the return on investment for its millions of dollars in edtech software purchases. To address this, they turned to Lightspeed Systems and implemented their Lightspeed Digital Insight data analytics tool.

Using Lightspeed Digital Insight, the district gained real-time visibility into application usage, enabling them to safeguard student data, accurately calculate edtech ROI, and monitor student engagement, especially during remote learning. The solution provided the data needed to justify hiring five new support staff and to create dashboards for administrative teams. Lightspeed Systems enabled the district to centralize its app purchasing, identify software risks, and begin generating reports to meet FERPA parent notification requirements.
