A Modern Enroll Hub for LAUSD Families and Administrators

Streamlining Enrollment, Empowering Parents, and Enhancing Efficiency for the Nation’s Largest School District.

Overview

As the largest school district in the nation, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) required a modernized enrollment system that simplified the application process for half a million students and over two million parents and guardians. The existing system was cumbersome, difficult to navigate, and inefficient for school administrators.

IHI led the design and implementation of a next-generation enrollment platform, ensuring seamless access, AI-driven support, and a scalable cloud-based infrastructure. The platform not only streamlined enrollment for parents but also optimized administrative workflows, improving submission processing by 2x.

  • Complex & Time-Consuming Application Process: Parents found the existing system confusing, leading to drop-offs and incomplete submissions.
  • Limited Accessibility & Mobile Optimization: The platform lacked a mobile-first approach, making it difficult for families to enroll from any device.
  • High Administrative Workloads: School staff spent excessive time manually processing applications, increasing delays and inefficiencies.
  • Lack of AI-Driven Support: Parents required real-time guidance on programs, eligibility, and school options, but the system lacked intelligent assistance.
