Case Study: Virginia Beach City Public Schools improves edtech visibility and ROI with Lightspeed Digital Insight

Virginia Beach City Public Schools streamlines 900 apps with Lightspeed Systems

Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) faced the challenge of managing its extensive digital learning ecosystem after a successful 1:1 device initiative. The district needed to gain visibility into how its technology investments were being used, ensure alignment with curriculum and data privacy policies, and measure the return on its edtech spending. To address this, VBCPS partnered with vendor Lightspeed Systems and implemented its Lightspeed Digital Insight solution.

Using Lightspeed Digital Insight, the district gained actionable data to streamline its app portfolio from over 900 down to a vetted, approved list, ensuring curriculum alignment and compliance with privacy regulations like COPPA. The solution provided Lightspeed Systems' analytics to measure platform adoption and ROI, leading to cost savings by not renewing unused software contracts. The result was a more intentional and effective edtech strategy that validated investments, safeguarded student data, and improved the teaching and learning experience.
