Case Study: Seminole County Public Schools achieves up-to-date state reporting and streamlined operations with Skyward

Seminole County Public School - Customer Case Study

Seminole County Public Schools, a Florida district serving about 64,000 students, faced an urgent IT challenge when its decade-old student system reached end of life. CIO Tim Harper needed a replacement that would be easy to learn, scale to the district’s size, and streamline time‑consuming state reporting. The district selected the Skyward Student Management Suite to address those needs.

Skyward implemented its Student Management Suite with real‑time monitoring, improved home–school communication, and proactive tracking of state reporting requirements. Skyward’s timely notifications and responsive support reduced reporting overhead (the eight‑person reporting team was cut nearly in half), freed three programmers for other work like web development, and created a collaborative vendor–client partnership that improved efficiency and compliance.
