Brevard Public Schools (BPS) in Brevard County, Florida, is the 50th largest school district in the U.S., serving 72,000 students across approximately 70 schools. With 5,000 teachers and 9,000 employees, the district implemented a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative to enhance digital learning. However, they needed a way to streamline access to online curricula, assessments, and e-textbooks while ensuring staff and students could securely retrieve network files from any device. 

With the rise of BYOD, BPS faced difficulties managing multiple devices, platforms, and digital resources. Teachers were losing valuable instruction time helping students log in to online tools, while the district struggled to provide seamless access to educational applications and files. Additionally, administrators needed better insights into resource usage to make data-driven decisions about technology investments and professional development.  

After evaluating multiple single sign-on (SSO) solutions, BPS selected ClassLink for its simplified management, improved user experience, and seamless access to existing network files. With ClassLink, students and staff now have SSO access to all digital resources and files using ADFS/SAML authentication. The platform works on any device, allowing learning to continue both at school and at home. Additionally, ClassLink’s analytics provide district leaders with detailed reporting on application usage, helping them make informed decisions on software renewals and identify areas where additional training may be needed. Since implementing ClassLink, BPS has successfully reduced login-related disruptions, increased instructional time, and improved access to digital resources across the district.
