Case Study: Fayette County Public Schools builds districtwide app governance and saves $140K with Lightspeed Systems

Fayette County Public Schools saves $140K and cuts app review time by 2-3 hours with Lightspeed Systems

Fayette County Public Schools faced a significant challenge in managing educational technology, with no formal process for app vetting, privacy review, or instructional alignment. This lack of governance created a "wild west" environment where student data was at risk and spending was inefficient. To address this, the district partnered with Lightspeed Systems and implemented their Lightspeed Insight solution to gain visibility and control over app usage.

By implementing Lightspeed Systems' Insight platform integrated with 1EdTech's Trusted App Management, the district built a transparent app governance program. The solution provided automatic privacy policy alerts and usage analytics, saving 2-3 hours per app review and identifying underused tools. This led to $140,000 in savings from cutting a single redundant resource and helped build community trust through a public-facing dashboard.
