Case Study: DeKalb County School District achieves safer, more effective online learning with Lightspeed Systems

DeKalb County School District protects 93,000 students with Lightspeed Systems

DeKalb County School District faced the challenge of ensuring effective and safe online learning across its district-wide 1:1 device program. Their hardware-based web filter only protected students on school grounds, and teachers lacked visibility into student activity during virtual instruction. They turned to Lightspeed Systems for a solution, seeking to implement their cloud-based filtering and classroom management products.

By implementing an integrated ecosystem of solutions from Lightspeed Systems, including Lightspeed Filter, Lightspeed Alert, and Lightspeed Classroom, the district achieved 24/7/365 protection for students both on and off campus. The results included maintaining CIPA compliance, providing teachers with tools for virtual classroom management, and giving safety personnel AI-powered alerts for early intervention in mental health and safety incidents. Lightspeed Systems' solutions also provided valuable data for informed edtech decision-making, lightened staff workload, and created a more efficient, safe digital learning environment for their 93,000 students.
