Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD) is based in Grapevine, Texas, and serves 14,000 students across 11 schools. Due to its outdated systems, the district needed to assess single sign-on (SSO) providers to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
As GCISD expanded its investment in digital resources, the district faced the challenge of streamlining access and managing apps efficiently. The IT staff struggled with the overwhelming task of manually rostering students—a process that could stretch from 45 to 90 days at the beginning of each school year. This delay impacted teachers, leaving them to catch up and recover lost instructional time.
Grapevine-Colleyville adopted ClassLink for its ease of setup, intuitive interface, and high level of support. Students, teachers, and staff benefit from having easy access to their online resources. Berger noted, “The value and most exciting part of ClassLink, is that it keeps evolving, so our investment keeps evolving.” The district is also taking advantage of additional features like Roster Server, Analytics, and OneSync, which will save the district $25,000 per year.
We are now able to focus on education rather than managing products.
