Charlotte County Public Schools (CCPS) serves 16,500 students and 1,870 teachers and staff across 23 schools in Charlotte County, Florida. The district sought a scalable, efficient solution to manage digital resource access and class rostering.
CCPS’s IT staff faced an overwhelming burden managing roster data. With over 30 vendors requiring different formats and processes, the team relied on custom scripts, manual uploads, spreadsheet manipulation, and copy-pasting—wasting valuable time and resources. The situation worsened when a last-minute Student Information System (SIS) update caused a surge in manual workload. Recognizing the inefficiency, district leaders sought an automated solution that aligned with the OneRoster standard to streamline rostering and login management.
CCPS selected ClassLink to handle single sign-on and rostering. Within days, the district was fully operational with Roster Server, significantly reducing the time required for roster management. What once took two hours daily now requires just a two-minute review. With ClassLink LaunchPad, CCPS simplified access to digital resources, making IT operations more efficient. The partnership with ClassLink not only eliminated manual burdens but also provided top-tier service and support.
I had no previous experience with OneRoster. Once you get a grasp of how it integrates with vendors, it’s a no-brainer. Why didn’t we do this 5 years ago!
