Knowing what we know now, we should use Clever from Day One! I was previously one of the biggest holdouts, but using Clever has been so worth the money! We’re really happy – the onboarding for new and migrating customers feels really smooth and simple and we’re unblocking many previously blocked customers.

Substitute Access is an absolute game changer. It emulates the teachers but only gives substitutes access to the curriculum-based applications they need.

Paul Zimmerman
Director of Technology, Blaine County School District, ID

Getting substitute access to curriculum was a security nightmare. Teachers would share their passwords on sticky notes or email them to substitutes. We had no way to know when or how often it happened and it caused all kinds of security concerns.

One of our biggest cybersecurity challenges in the UK is ensuring thorough data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) are done and understanding how much data we’re sharing with providers. With new products and AI emerging constantly, many schools and trusts are struggling to keep up.

Director of Digital Education and Professional Learning, AISL Harrow Schools

“It was definitely the ‘Department of No’ when I got here. It’s a lot easier to maintain systems when you just get to say, ‘No, we’re just going to do Office, and we’re not going to do Google. We’re just going to support Apple products and not Apple and Dell.’ But is that really what’s best for our students?”

Eva Rodriguez Mendoza
CTO, San Antonio Independent School District

“The role of the CTO in schools has evolved from a job description to a strategic leadership position. As technology’s impact grows, so do the threats—leading many districts to create senior tech roles that didn’t exist before.”

Keith Kruger
CEO, Consortium for School Networking (CoSN)

“Instead of being the ‘Department of No,’ tech leaders should be the ‘Department of Know’—fostering collaboration and finding creative ways to make new technologies work safely for students.”

Mark Racine
Former Chief Information Officer, Boston Public Schools

“Clever’s SSO and Rostering integration has been invaluable for our district customers like Allen ISD and Bellevue School District, streamlining access, automating rostering, reducing support tickets, and simplifying IT processes for staff and students alike.”

Nicki Rodriguez
Vice President of Customer Success, x2VOL by intelliVOL

“Keeping student identities secure is an uphill battle, especially with AI amplifying cyber threats and schools being prime targets.”
