The Broadalbin-Perth Central School District (BPCSD) serves approximately 1,800 students across four schools in Fulton, Montgomery, and Saratoga counties, New York. The district sought an efficient way to manage digital access for its faculty laptop initiative.
BPCSD launched a 1:1 faculty laptop program but chose not to add the devices to the school network. This approach allowed out-of-the-box deployment without configuration but required a centralized interface for accessing web apps and cloud files. The district also needed a single sign-on (SSO) solution to eliminate the hassle of multiple logins and avoid costly investments in servers and software installations.
BPCSD selected ClassLink as its SSO solution. ClassLink’s web-based architecture allowed faculty to access applications and network drives without requiring software installation or additional infrastructure. Setup for the entire district took less than an hour. Now, teachers can seamlessly access school-provided applications and shared drives from anywhere. The program’s success has led the district to consider expanding the initiative to students in the future.
ClassLink offers the desktop and single sign on options that we will need as we try to bring consistency and ease of use into the technology implementation process.
