Case Study: Denton ISD achieves $100K annual savings with PowerSchool Connected Intelligence

Denton ISD to Save $100K Annually with AI-Powered Enrollment Automation

Denton Independent School District struggled with a slow, manual student enrollment process—particularly for high-demand pre-K—requiring extensive staff overtime and extra resources, driving high turnover among registrars and campus secretaries and creating long waits and stress for families. The district spent the equivalent of 302 staff-days on enrollment before automation.

By deploying PowerSchool Connected Intelligence with Document AI and real-time dashboards, Denton automated document extraction and routing, enabling 60–80% of documents to be processed automatically and flagging missing information for quick review. The district projects about $100,000 in annual staff-hour savings, improved staff retention and parent experience, faster enrollment decisions, and additional long-term savings from better, data-driven staffing and resource allocation.
