LINQ School Websites is a K–12 web content-management offering for maintaining district and school sites, publishing community information, and supporting a consistent public identity. It belongs in this category when the district is using LINQ for its public-facing website rather than only for nutrition, payments, finance, or other LINQ products.

The catalog name “LINQ” is too broad because the company sells multiple operational platforms. Rename the record to LINQ School Websites after confirming the precise product, and review its relationship to SchoolBlocks so separate records do not create an unexamined duplicate.

Registration Gateway is a legacy online student-registration product acquired by LINQ from SRC Solutions. It collected student and household information, documents, forms, and signatures and supported staff processing and transfer to connected student information systems.

LINQ still provides support references for former Registration Gateway customers, but the product is no longer prominent in LINQ’s current public portfolio. Districts using it should confirm whether they remain on the legacy system, have migrated to a LINQ forms workflow, or have replaced it before the record is renamed, redirected, or retired.

LiveSchool is a schoolwide positive-behavior and culture platform built around a shared points rubric. Teachers and other staff can recognize students from a browser or mobile device, attach comments, and use the same expectations across classrooms, while students and families can follow progress through their own accounts.

Schools can connect earned points to rewards, house systems, and celebrations, then use dashboards and reports to examine participation and behavior patterns. The product is designed to make daily recognition fast enough for staff to use consistently and to give leadership teams clearer evidence about whether their culture system is reaching every student.

LobbyGuard was a visitor-management and front-office automation system for screening and checking visitors into schools and other facilities. Typical workflows included scanning identification, checking visitor information, printing badges, notifying staff, and maintaining an electronic visitor record.

Raptor Technologies acquired LobbyGuard in 2019, and Raptor now markets its own current visitor and campus-movement products. This listing should be treated as a legacy product record and possible duplicate, not as an independently marketed current platform, until customer support and migration status are verified.

MajorClarity is a college and career readiness platform that links career discovery with academic plans and postsecondary action. Students complete career assessments and hands-on 'test-drive' activities, compare careers and education options, create multiyear course plans, track applications and transcripts, and document work-based learning and employability skills.

For districts, the product brings counseling, CTE, graduation planning, and readiness reporting into one environment. MajorClarity was acquired by Paper in 2023 and then moved to Edmentum in October 2025, where it is being combined with Edmentum's career curricula, certification preparation, and related secondary-school products.

Pearson Mastering is Pearson’s discipline-specific Mastering courseware family. It is intended primarily for advanced high-school, AP, dual-enrollment, and postsecondary STEM learners, with students, science instructors, dual-enrollment staff, and administrators using it to support stem homework, tutorials, simulations, assessment, and course management.

Learners complete publisher assignments, interactive tutorials, simulations, problem sets, and tests linked to a course text. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Math 180 is HMH’s blended intensive mathematics-intervention program. It is intended primarily for middle- and high-school students needing intensive mathematics intervention, with intervention teachers, students, special educators, coaches, and administrators using it to support foundational numeracy, proportional reasoning, algebra readiness, and mathematical confidence.

Students rotate among teacher-led instruction, collaborative work, and adaptive software within a structured intervention period. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

MathXL is Pearson’s online mathematics homework and assessment system. It is intended primarily for high-school and postsecondary mathematics learners, depending on the course, with students, secondary math teachers, dual-enrollment instructors, and administrators using it to support online homework, practice, assessment, and course management.

Teachers assign publisher problem sets, tutorials, quizzes, and tests while students receive automated feedback and course-level practice. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

McGraw Hill StudySync is a secondary English language arts curriculum with print and digital resources. It is designed primarily for middle- and high-school English language arts students, including learners needing differentiated access, with ELA teachers, students, curriculum leaders, and intervention/support staff using it to support literature, informational text, writing, language, discussion, and media literacy.

Teachers use thematic units, close reading, collaborative discussion, writing tasks, grammar, assessment, and scaffolds to build grade-level literacy. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

Microsoft Intune for Education is a cloud-based device and application management service for school-owned Windows and Apple devices. It provides a streamlined education portal for enrolling devices, applying settings, distributing applications, protecting district information, and checking whether devices comply with security requirements.

The service uses the broader Microsoft Intune platform underneath its school-focused interface and works naturally with Microsoft 365 Education, Microsoft Entra identity, and Windows deployment services. Districts can use the simpler education workflows for routine administration while retaining access to more advanced Intune capabilities when needed.

Microsoft Power BI is a general-purpose business intelligence platform and a core analytics workload within Microsoft Fabric. District teams can connect files, databases, cloud systems, warehouses, and APIs; transform and model data; build interactive reports; and distribute governed dashboards through Microsoft workspaces and applications.

Power BI can support instructional, enrollment, finance, HR, facilities, compliance, and public reporting, but it does not include a ready-made K–12 data warehouse or common metric definitions. District value depends on the quality of source-system integrations, semantic models, security rules, licensing, and staff or partner capacity to maintain the solution.

Microsoft School Data Sync (SDS) is a Microsoft 365 Education service that imports organization, user, role, course, class, and enrollment data from a district's SIS or student-management system. It uses those records to establish education-specific identities and rosters for Microsoft Teams, Intune for Education, and other Microsoft 365 or compatible third-party experiences.

SDS eliminates much of the manual work of creating classes and keeping memberships current, but it is centered on the Microsoft 365 tenant rather than acting as a general-purpose district integration hub. Current implementations connect through supported OneRoster APIs or Microsoft CSV formats, with administrators responsible for mapping identities, monitoring synchronization health, and correcting source-data errors.

Microsoft Sway is a web-based authoring tool for creating responsive presentations, reports, newsletters, portfolios, tutorials, and story-style pages. Users combine text, images, video, embeds, and other content while Sway automatically adapts the layout for different screens.

Sway is useful for lightweight digital publishing and sharing but does not replace a full website platform, LMS, or conventional slide application. It is part of Microsoft 365 and fits best under Digital Content Creation / Presentation Tools.

MIDAS Education currently provides Data Forge for secure, role-based education analytics together with professional-development management and microcredential systems. Its public offering focuses on connecting disparate data, producing reproducible insights, managing professional learning, and documenting demonstrated educator skills.

This differs substantially from the catalog’s former description of MIDAS as an all-in-one SIS, LMS, website, compliance, and district-management system. The company remains active, but SDLA should confirm which generation of MIDAS each California district actually uses before treating those relationships as current Data Forge or professional-learning deployments.
