Case Study: Oak Park and River Forest High School achieves lower tardiness and operating costs with Primex Sync

Oak Park and River Forest High School cuts tardiness 25% with Primex Sync

Oak Park and River Forest High School faced a challenge with its manually operated bells, clocks, and lighting systems. This required staff electricians to spend a significant portion of their day performing routine checks and maintenance across a large campus, which was an inefficient use of their specialized skills and strained the school's budget. The school turned to vendor Primex for a solution using their Primex Wireless 72MHz XR Series Time Synchronization and Bell Scheduling system.

The solution from Primex automated and synchronized the school's systems through a central software interface. This resulted in a $5,000 annual labor savings, a 40% reduction in hallway lighting costs, and a return on investment within three years. Additionally, the school saw a dramatic 25% reduction in student tardiness and a 35% reduction in failing grades, as the new reliable "shot clocks" helped students get to class on time.
