Lamar County School District Chooses Lightspeed Systems® to Filter and Protect Student Chromebooks

PURVIS, MS. — Mississippi’s Lamar County School District has selected edtech company 라이트스피드 시스템 to provide device filtering and monitoring services for the district’s 19 schools. Lightspeed 필터™ has been implemented to protect and monitor more than 7,600 student Chromebooks across the district, blocking dangerous web content while also monitoring student activity to help district staff identify suspicious behavior and safety threats.

Lightspeed has filtered K-12 schools for almost 20 years and has provided content filtering services for Lamar County School District’s devices since 2013. By implementing Lightspeed Filter, a multi-OS cloud filtering and monitoring software solution, the district will benefit from features such as:

• Lightspeed Alert™ — receive immediate alerts when students enter or browse suspicious and troubling terms/content, allowing staff to intervene or escalate
• Simple SSL filtering — filter SSL sites like Google and YouTube without having to use proxies, PAC files or certificates
• 학부모 보고서 생성기 - 학부모 이메일 주소의 간단한 CSV 파일을 업로드하여 학생 기기 활동 보고서를 학부모의 받은 편지함으로 자동으로 전달합니다.
• 잠금 - 학생들이 연속적으로 너무 많은 차단된 사이트에 접속을 시도하면 인터넷 접속이 차단됩니다.
• Smart Play — the game-changing YouTube management feature that allows students to access tens of millions of educational videos (and none of the bad stuff)

“Lightspeed Filter is a turning point in the way we protect our students from the dangers of the Internet,” Lamar County School District Director of Technology Ross Randall said. “With the deployment of Lightspeed Filter, I can now allow my students to access useful content that I would have otherwise blocked due to the inability to granularly filter out the bad. I am confident that my students are in a much safer environment, and with the ability to flag terms I feel we can offer data that can be used in behavioral interventions.”

“After working with the district for more than five years, we have seen how devoted Ross and the rest of the staff are to giving students an advanced, 20th-century learning experience,” Lightspeed Systems President and CEO Brian Thomas said. “By implementing Lightspeed Filter, the district is not only safe from inappropriate and malicious online content, it will also be able to help students who need intervention.”
