Case Study: Oswego School District (USD 504) achieves cost savings and peace of mind with PowerSchool SIS & Hosting

Oswego School District Saves Money, Enjoys Peace of Mind with PowerSchool SIS & Hosting

Oswego Unified School District No. 504, a small rural district in Kansas serving about 480 students, needed a modern student information system with stronger reporting, mobile access, and a user-friendly interface — and wanted to stop spending limited IT time and budget on server administration. Their legacy SIS lacked capabilities for growth, state reporting, classroom management, and easy maintenance.

They implemented PowerSchool SIS with PowerSchool Hosting, gaining secure cloud management, robust state reporting, the PowerTeacher gradebook, and PowerScheduler master scheduling. The district cut equipment and staffing costs by thousands annually, reduced server maintenance hours to zero, streamlined reporting for timely funding, enabled better teacher and parent engagement, and developed a custom ID solution — delivering both measurable savings and “peace of mind.”
