Through current and prior ownership, Digital Schools has been proudly serving the educational sector since 1999. Integration is essential to any District; we integrate HR, Financial and Payroll data. Through non-core Suite capabilities, we also provide integrated timekeeping (including request for time off) and applicant tracking. In some districts there is a need or desire to retain current financial-payroll capabilities or for California districts to work through County applications. In these instances, we provide a separate DS Bridge capability to enable the desired integration. Our philosophy is to provide a scalable application to the K-12 sector that responds to the specific needs of those districts. Our implementation and training is fully focused on the ability to configure the application to the specific rules and practices of the district within the constraints of the DS core functionality.
