Case Study: Marion County Public Schools achieves faster attendance tracking with Skyward tardy kiosks

Marion County Public Schools saves 3 hours a day on tardy check-ins with Skyward

Marion County Public Schools, a district with 43,000 students, faced significant disruptions to instructional time due to inefficient manual processes for tracking student tardiness. Their vendor, Skyward, in partnership with School Technology Associates, provided a solution to automate attendance tracking.

The district implemented Skyward's tardy kiosk solution, which allows students to check themselves in, printing a pass and updating attendance in the Skyward system in real time. This solution saved staff approximately three hours per day on data entry, increased student accountability, and improved parent visibility through Skyward's Family Access portal, leading to a noticeable reduction in student tardiness.
