Case Study: Clinton CUSD 15 achieves streamlined HR and finance efficiencies with Skyward's School Business Suite

Clinton CUSD 15 - Customer Case Study

Clinton CUSD 15, a 1,901‑student Illinois district, struggled with antiquated, paper‑based HR and finance processes—paper requisitions and purchase orders, manually delivered paychecks, and no digital approvals—which slowed operations and made budget visibility difficult. To address these challenges the district evaluated and selected Skyward and its School Business Suite to modernize workflows and reduce administrative burden.

Skyward implemented the web‑based School Business Suite to automate invoicing, requisitions, purchase orders and time‑off approvals, integrate with their Student Management Suite, and provide timely support and compliance updates. The result was faster, more transparent decision‑making, reduced paper and courier costs, elimination of redundant data entry, easier budget uploads to state formats, and measurable time and personnel savings—delivering a clear return on investment for Clinton CUSD 15.
