Case Study: Trillium Lakelands District School Board achieves real-time student data, faster customizations, and streamlined Ministry reporting with PowerSchool

Trillium Lakelands District School Board - Customer Case Study

Trillium Lakelands District School Board in Ontario was constrained by a non‑customizable student information system that forced them to pay a vendor and wait for enhancements, leading to costly delays and inefficient workarounds for secretarial staff and teachers. These limitations made routine tasks—enrollments, attendance, grade entry and reporting—more time‑consuming and less aligned with district needs.

Switching to PowerSchool gave the Board a web‑based, configurable SIS they can tailor in‑house on their own timeline, with real‑time updates and integration with local systems. As a result, staff work faster and more efficiently, teachers have customized student views, district‑specific reports and medical alerts are built in, and Ministry (OnSIS) reporting is simpler and fully supported—shortening enhancement timelines and improving compliance.
