Enhancing Digital Access Across Leon County Schools

Leon County Schools, based in Tallahassee, FL, serves 34,000 K-12 students, 2,400 teachers, and 1,900 staff across 62 schools. As digital learning resources expanded, the district needed a more efficient way to manage logins and improve access to digital tools for students and staff.

Too Many Logins, Too Much Lost Instruction Time

The complexity of multiple logins made it difficult for students and teachers to access digital resources. Each platform required unique credentials, leading to lower software use and making digital textbooks nearly inaccessible. In primary grades, teachers spent valuable instructional time assisting students with logging in and out instead of focusing on learning. The district needed a single sign-on solution that worked consistently across all content providers and simplified access for younger students without sacrificing security or functionality.

Solving Login Hassles to Focus on Learning

Leon County Schools implemented ClassLink to streamline access to digital resources for students, teachers, and staff. To further support younger learners, the district introduced QuickCards, a QR code-based login system that allows students to log in instantly by holding their card up to a camera. Designed for early learners and those needing assistive technology, QuickCards significantly reduced login frustrations, giving teachers more time to focus on instruction.

Leon County Schools played a key role in refining QuickCards, helping ClassLink develop a streamlined app that enables five- and six-year-old students to operate independently. Within 24 hours, ClassLink built the QuickCard app to meet the district’s needs. With this solution in place, even the youngest students can now log in effortlessly, empowering them to engage with digital learning resources without teacher assistance.

Our teachers are recovering the time that was previously wasted managing the login process. Time is the most limited resource in our school; we are now recovering up to 30-40 minutes per day.
