↑ 0%Lightspeed Systems has expanded its Lightspeed MDM platform to manage Apple, Windows, Chrome OS and Android devices from a single console, becoming the first K-12-focused mobile device management system to offer complete cross-platform support. The update eliminates the need for school IT departments to juggle multiple separate systems for different device types. The platform allows districts to set policies once and apply them across all operating systems, managing camera access, passcodes, app installations and remote commands uniformly. It includes a policy structure designed for school hierarchies, where changes cascade automatically whilst preserving exceptions for specific student groups. Lightspeed MDM integrates with the company's existing roster system used by approximately 23 million students across 31,000 schools. The multi-OS support is available immediately across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, Windows, Chrome OS and Android.
Lightspeed Systems launches multi-os device management, giving K-12 IT teams one console for every major school device. Now they can set a policy once and apply it across Apple, Windows, and Chrome OS devices without switching platforms. That is a real shift in how device management works for schools." - Jennifer Duer, EVP of Product, Lightspeed Systems AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Lightspeed Systems announced that Lightspeed MDM(TM) now manages every major operating system used in K-12 schools from a single console, making it the first mobile device management platform built for districts to offer that level of coverage. The expanded release adds full support for Windows, Chrome OS, and Android alongside Lightspeed's existing Apple management, giving IT teams a way to retire the separate tools they have relied on to keep different device types in line. Most district IT departments juggle at least three systems to manage their fleets: one platform for Apple devices, another for Windows machines, and a third for Chromebooks. Each comes with its own contract, its own support line, and its own console to log into. Lightspeed MDM replaces that patchwork with one system that already shares a student and staff roster with Lightspeed Filter, Classroom, Alert, Insight, and other solutions. "IT directors have told us for years that managing devices shouldn't require three different logins and three different vendors keeping track of the same students," said Jennifer Duer, EVP of Product at Lightspeed Systems. "Now they can set a policy once and apply it across Apple, Windows, and Chrome OS devices without switching platforms. That is a real shift in how device management works for schools." The expanded platform gives districts full control over the same three things every MDM handles, now across every OS in the building: Policies. Camera access, passcodes, time-based restrictions, and other device rules, enforced consistently across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, Windows, Chrome OS, and Android. Apps. What gets installed, required, or blocked, pushed silently to supervised devices without any action from the student or staff member holding it. Commands. Lock, wipe, restart, Lost Mode, or move a device to a new group, sent remotely the moment IT needs to act. Lightspeed MDM also introduces a policy structure built specifically around how schools organize students, not how a generic enterprise IT tool assumes a company is organized. Every device belongs to exactly one group within a district's hierarchy, and that placement determines everything that applies to it. Change a policy at the district level and it cascades automatically to every school and group below it, while exceptions such as those for students with IEPs or members of specific programs stay intact. "With most MDMs, updating a base policy means IT is back in the console reapplying every exception by hand," Duer said. "A district might have thirty students in an esports club who need a different camera setting than everyone else. With Lightspeed, that exception holds even after the underlying policy changes. Nobody has to go back and rebuild it." The platform also lets districts attach time windows directly to a policy, so restrictions that make sense during the school day can relax automatically once students head home, without an administrator touching a console at 3 p.m. every afternoon. For the roughly 23 million students already on the Lightspeed platform, the update means device management now runs on the same roster, group structure, and admin login districts already use for content filtering and classroom tools. "This isn't a new platform districts have to learn or a new contract they have to negotiate," said Amy Bennett, Chief of Staff at Lightspeed Systems. "If a district already uses Lightspeed for filtering or classroom management, adding MDM means one more piece of their device strategy runs through a system their team already knows. That's vendor consolidation, not just device consolidation." Lightspeed MDM's multi-OS support is available now across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, Windows, Chrome OS, and Android.

Lightspeed Systems has launched Hall Monitor, a digital hall pass solution for K-12 schools. The standalone product offers real-time visibility of student movements, meetup detection that flags students frequently out of class simultaneously, and per-student accommodation tracking for IEP or 504 plans. The platform allows teachers to issue passes whilst giving administrators building-wide oversight. Schools can configure their own locations and approval rules within district-set parameters. Features include kiosk mode for devices, emergency shutoff capability, and full audit trails for compliance reviews. Hall Monitor integrates with Lightspeed's existing platform used by tens of thousands of schools. The system addresses concerns about untraceable paper passes and provides documentation when incidents occur. Lightspeed Systems protects over 23 million students across 31,000 schools in 43 countries.
Lightspeed Systems launches standalone Hall Monitor, bringing real-time student visibility and smarter pass management to K-12 schools. AUSTIN, TX - August 7, 2026 - Lightspeed Systems today announced the release of Lightspeed Hall Monitor(TM), a significantly updated digital hall pass solution that is now available as a standalone product for K-12 districts. The release introduces expanded capabilities supporting schools' complex operational, safety, and compliance needs. Lightspeed Hall Monitor gives teachers a frictionless pass workflow, administrators building-wide visibility in real time, and districts the documentation they need to demonstrate policy compliance and honor student accommodation plans. The product is built into the Lightspeed platform that tens of thousands of schools already use for filtering, safety, and classroom management, meaning no new software, no additional logins, and no separate contract. "Districts have been telling us the same things: paper passes are untraceable, students know how to work around them, and when something goes wrong, there is no record," said Jennifer Duer, EVP of Product at Lightspeed Systems. "Hall Monitor closes that loop. You know who is out of class, where they are, and whether a pattern is forming before it becomes a problem. And because it lives in the Lightspeed platform, IT stays in control of the data and which users can manage configuration for each school." Specifically, Lightspeed Hall Monitor addresses several gaps for school leaders: Building-wide visibility. Teachers and administrators see every active pass in real time, including status (active, overdue, pending, waitlisted), destination, and elapsed versus allowed time. A full pass history and an analytics dashboard are available at the school and district level. Meetup detection. Hall Monitor automatically flags students who are frequently out of class at the same time. Administrators can also manually block specific student pairings so their passes cannot overlap, allowing staff to act on known conflicts before they escalate. Per-student exceptions and accommodation tracking. Students with IEP or 504 plans can be assigned individual exceptions for pass time limits, daily or weekly pass counts, and auto-approved destinations. Every pass generates an audit trail that can be produced during compliance reviews. School-level configurability. Districts can set policy at the district level and allow each school to configure its own locations, time limits, and approval rules within those guardrails. An elementary school and a high school on the same contract can have entirely different pass setups. Kiosk mode. Any browser, including iOS, can run Hall Monitor in kiosk mode, extending digital pass management to gyms, cafeterias, and any other situation where students do not have a school-issued device. Emergency Off. All passes can be disabled instantly, district-wide or school-wide, for emergency situations. "Every minute a student spends outside the classroom is a minute of instruction lost," said Amy Bennett, Chief of Staff at Lightspeed Systems. "Lightspeed Hall Monitor gives schools a way to protect those minutes without creating new work for teachers or new headaches for administrators. That is the kind of practical impact we are focused on delivering." About Lightspeed Systems Lightspeed Systems is a K-12 edtech company that gives districts the visibility, control, and tools to keep students safe and focused. The Lightspeed platform includes Lightspeed Filter, Lightspeed Classroom, Lightspeed Alert, Lightspeed StopIt, Lightspeed Insight, Lightspeed Signal, Lightspeed MDM, and Lightspeed Hall Monitor.

Lightspeed Systems launches free 14-day AI Usage audit for K-12 districts. New AI Audit Report gives district leaders visibility into which AI tools students and staff are using - and whether those tools are safe Districts don't need another dashboard full of numbers - they need to know, in plain terms, what AI tools their students and staff are actually using, and whether those tools are safe." - Jennifer Duer, EVP of Product, Lightspeed Systems AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Lightspeed Systems, a provider of student safety and digital learning technology for K-12 schools, today announced the AI Audit Report, a free 14-day assessment that gives district technology leaders visibility into how students and staff are using AI-powered applications across their network. Powered by Lightspeed Insight data, the report shows which AI apps are in use, who is driving that usage by grade band and campus, and the privacy and security risk associated with those tools. AI adoption in K-12 schools is moving faster than most districts can track. Students and staff are turning to generative AI, AI writing tools, and other AI-powered applications whether or not those tools have been formally approved - leaving IT and academic leaders with limited visibility into what's actually happening on their network. "Districts don't need another dashboard full of numbers - they need to know, in plain terms, what AI tools their students and staff are actually using, and whether those tools are safe," said Jennifer Duer, EVP of Product at Lightspeed Systems. "The AI Audit gives district leaders that visibility in just two weeks, without requiring a custom report or a data team to interpret it." The AI Audit includes: - Top AI applications in use, ranked by engagement and average daily screen time - A breakdown by AI category - Generative AI, Artificial Intelligence, and Detective AI - Usage patterns by grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) and by campus - Independent privacy and security ratings for each AI application in use, sourced from 1EdTech The report utilizes Lightspeed Insight(TM), the same usage-data platform IT administrators already rely on for app and web activity monitoring. Beyond AI usage, Insight gives district leaders always-on visibility into every application and website students and staff touch - with tools to vet and approve new apps before they reach a classroom, maintain a public list of approved apps for staff and families, track usage trends, and report to the board on the return on their ed-tech investment. Districts interested in the audit can request one at lightspeedsystems.com/resources/ai-usage-audit. After a brief qualification conversation with the Lightspeed Systems team, the Insight license is deployed for 14 days to begin collecting data - with no cost and no long-term commitment required to see the results.
