The established trust with Clever simplified change management for secure password practices, resulting in reduced IT tickets and chaos during Back to School.

Zaire Thyben

Director of Information Technology, Mequon-Thiensville School District

With Clever IDM, the password reset process took a lot of the weight off my service desk.

Judi Vellucci

Director of District Help Desk Support, Boston Public Schools

A student would just power on their Chromebook, enter their initial Entra ID password, and then they’re prompted with either a PIN or, for younger students, a secret picture — and boom, they’re in. Very smooth all the way around, and it really meets the need.

Todd Pugliese

Director of IT, Mapleton Public Schools

“I think about cybersecurity as overlapping responsibility. District IT teams are doing incredible work, often with impossible constraints, but vendors can’t treat security as something they hand off. You want duplicative layers of protection, not gaps where everyone assumes someone else has it covered.”

Arman Jaffer

Founder & CEO, Brisk Teaching

“There’s a growing acceptance in K-12 that cybersecurity incidents are, unfortunately, part of the landscape now. What’s different in education is that when something happens, districts tend to help each other instead of going silent. That collaboration is baked into the culture.”

Eric Hileman

Executive Director, IT Services, of Oklahoma City Public Schools.

“The data in this report mirrors what Microsoft sees globally. Education institutions are now among the most frequently targeted sectors, with disproportionate levels of identity and business email compromise compared to other industries.”

Corey Lee

Security Chief Technology Officer for U.S. SLED at Microsoft

As our curriculum shifts increasingly online, leaving effective sub plans became a huge challenge. Clever’s Substitute Access feature not only helps teachers prepare more effective sub plans, but also ensures substitutes are confident and students experience uninterrupted learning across the district.

Robbie Faith

Instructional Technology Coach, Bend-La Pine Schools

Giving students the Clever Badge frees up a lot of time. It also enables the teachers to spend time on other things rather than logging in students.

Kate Mackintosh

STEAM Specialist & Digital Technologies Leader

“At scale, building your own solution isn’t sustainable. The real value comes from avoiding endless troubleshooting and firefighting, so your team can focus on what matters most—your product.”

Dominic Via

VP of Sales at Clever
