Overview
Hauppauge Public Schools, a forward-thinking district in New York, serves thousands of students with a commitment to innovation and student-centered learning. As the number of digital tools in the district grew, so did the challenges around managing them efficiently. Leslie Brophy, Director of CTE, Digital Learning, and Innovation, led the search for a solution to unify and simplify the district’s technology management approach. Her answer: Veracity’s Technology Management System.
Challenge
Before implementing Veracity, Hauppauge Schools lacked a centralized location to track and manage their growing ecosystem of digital platforms. Key challenges included:
- No single system to house all digital tools
- Uncertainty around platform ownership and purpose
- Difficulty identifying whether tools were purchased via BOCES or directly
- Unclear lines of responsibility for managing tools
- Redundancy among applications already in use
Educators often struggled to find the right tools for their instructional goals and lacked clarity on whether a tool was approved or already available. Meanwhile, the business and technology departments lacked the visibility and oversight needed to manage contracts, purchases, and compliance efficiently.
Solution
Leslie Brophy and her team implemented Veracity to bring transparency, control, and usability to their technology landscape.
“While the district uses ClassLink for access to some applications, it didn’t offer the depth of information or centralized control that Hauppauge needed. Veracity filled that gap with a more comprehensive and user-friendly platform.” — Leslie Brophy, Director of CTE, Digital Learning, and Innovation
Veracity filled that void by offering:
- A single, searchable library of all approved digital tools
- Clear identification of each tool’s purpose and primary contact
- Insight into whether tools were acquired via BOCES or directly
- Filtering capabilities for staff based on instructional needs
- A centralized view for purchasing, contracts, and compliance
Results
Instructional Impact
With Veracity, teachers and staff can now easily search for and evaluate tools aligned with their instructional goals. Filtering by grade level, subject, or use case has made it easier for educators to find resources without duplicating requests or missing available tools.
Operational Efficiency
For the business and technology offices, Veracity has created a smoother, more transparent process for managing contracts, renewals, and purchases—ultimately saving time and reducing risk. Having a clearly defined platform to track compliance has been particularly valuable.
Conclusion
By implementing Veracity’s Technology Management System, Hauppauge Schools successfully bridged the gap between instructional needs and operational efficiency. The district now enjoys better visibility, improved access, and stronger alignment across departments.
Veracity didn’t just organize Hauppauge’s edtech ecosystem—it empowered its educators and administrators to make smarter, faster decisions that benefit students and staff alike.
