Boise School District, located in Boise, ID, serves 26,240 students, 1,536 teachers, and 2,671 staff across 46 schools. The district is dedicated to its mission of "Educating Today for a Better Tomorrow."
The district IT team faced ongoing frustrations with time-consuming password reset requests, forgotten passwords, and the manual process of rostering digital resources. After piloting Clever for six months, Boise recognized the need for a more flexible and comprehensive single sign-on (SSO) solution. Leadership sought a platform that could streamline application and file access for users while also enabling efficient, district-level rostering. Boise also valued solutions that supported open data standards to promote interoperability and efficiency.
Boise School District implemented ClassLink to replace their existing SSO solution. ClassLink’s user-friendly interface, flexible functionality, and ability to deliver rosters at the district level addressed Boise’s critical challenges. The ClassLink Roster Server, built on open data standards, has significantly reduced the workload for IT staff by automating the rostering process and allowing the district to control which resources are rostered.
ClassLink's QuickCards have been a game-changer for younger students, enabling effortless login to digital resources and saving instructional time. District-wide adoption was further supported by setting ClassLink as the homepage on all user devices, which boosted resource usage, particularly among middle school students. Boise’s leadership has also been impressed by ClassLink’s dedication to customer satisfaction, with support teams consistently delivering high-quality service.
Every single day, our staff uses ClassLink to access school resources and administrative programs. It is just so effortless now.
