Compton Unified School District in California serves 23,452 students across 38 schools. As the district expanded its 1:1 laptop initiative, ensuring seamless access to digital resources became a growing challenge.
Despite the district’s investment in technology, students and staff faced frequent sign-in and access issues, leading to lost instructional time. Forgotten passwords and scattered digital resources created daily disruptions in the classroom. Meanwhile, IT staff struggled with challenging rostering and provisioning processes, as well as inefficient VPN access for remote work. The district needed a unified solution to streamline access, reduce IT workload, and improve technology use.
Today, ClassLink is Compton’s all-in-one solution for SSO, rostering, provisioning, and remote access. By replacing multiple platforms with a single, streamlined system, the district not only improved technology access but also saved time and money. “Because of ClassLink, everyone in our district knows there’s one place to go whether they need to reset their password, access their applications, or even to access their desktop,” says Gabriel Barrientos, IT Director of IT Infrastructure. With ClassLink in place, students, teachers, and staff can focus on what truly matters—teaching and learning.
There were other platforms that we used for VPN and provisioning, and the combined cost of those compared to what we pay as a one-stop-shop for ClassLink, there are significant savings there.
