Boxlight Partners with Montgomery ISD to Transform Teaching & Learning with FrontRow and Clevertouch
Boxlight Corporation (NASDAQ:BOXL), recognized as one of the top ed-tech companies in the world and leading provider of interactive technology, digital signage, education software, and professional development, announced a new deployment with Montgomery Independent School District (MISD) in Texas, that includes its award‑winning education technology brands FrontRow and Clevertouch to elevate classroom audio‑visual experiences, campus‑wide communication, safety alerting and digital signage across the district. This initiative is enabled and supported by integration partner Data Projections, leveraging a proven case‑study framework to help MISD achieve its instructional and operational goals.
A Vision for Educators, Students and Campus Safety
To meet MISD's strategic priorities—improving teacher voice intelligibility, amplifying instructional engagement, enhancing campus notification systems, and streamlining emergency communications—Boxlight and Data Projections collaborated with MISD's Director of Technology to tailor a unified solution. According to the Data Projections case study, MISD's key concerns included:
- The need for a new PA/intercom system for everyday use and emergencies.
- Lack of effective digital signage for wayfinding, parental communication, and alerts.
- The necessity for classroom displays and connectivity that support immersive, interactive instruction.
Boxlight's FrontRow and Clevertouch brands address all of these needs with an integrated approach:
- FrontRow's networked classroom audio, intercom/paging, and emergency‑alert modules.
- Clevertouch's interactive displays, digital signage and the CleverLive platform for visual messaging.
- The ATTENTION! ecosystem, which unifies audio and visual endpoints under one communications and safety platform.
Project Scope & Data Projections Case Study Readiness
In working with MISD, Data Projections reports the following:
- District‑wide roll‑out of interactive flat panels, combined with FrontRow wearable teacher microphones, enabling clearer teacher voice delivery and more engaging lessons.
- Implementation of FrontRow Conductor (IP‑based bell/PA/intercom system) and Clevertouch's CleverLive digital signage solution to deliver alerts and visual notifications across classrooms and key campus zones.
- Expansion into interactive learning environments beyond traditional classrooms (e.g., active‑play spaces) to engage students in immersive cross‑curricular experiences.
The case study highlights meaningful enhancements in connectivity, voice intelligibility, classroom interaction, and campus notification infrastructure. From these findings, Boxlight projects the following for MISD and similarly sized districts:
Metric |
Projection |
Rationale |
Teacher voice intelligibility improvement |
Up to 30 % reduction in missed speech (e.g., from ~40 % lost to ~28 %) |
FrontRow data shows 25‑40% of teacher voice isn't reaching student brains without amplification. FrontRow |
Student engagement / participation boost |
Approx. 15‑20% increase |
Enhanced audio and interactive display technologies help drive more active learning and fewer distractions. |
Emergency alert response time reduction |
Up to 50 % faster initiation of alerts across campus |
With integrated Conductor and visual signage, schools can trigger and broadcast alerts from a single platform. boxlight.com |
Total cost‑of‑ownership (TCO) savings |
Up to 20 % over five years |
Vendor consolidation (audio, displays, signage), remote management and cloud‑based systems reduce installation, service and upgrade costs. |
Classroom technology uptime/reliability |
+10 percentage points (e.g., from 90 % to ~99 %) |
Systems designed for networked deployment, PoE, remote firmware updates and centralized management (FrontRow, Clevertouch) reduce downtime. |
These projections reflect Boxlight's optimistic forecast based on the MISD case study, technology capabilities, and expected operational efficiencies. Actual results may vary by district size, existing infrastructure, installation pace, and staff training.
Why This Partnership Matters
- Unified Platform, Less Complexity: Schools often manage multiple vendors for audio systems, displays, signage and emergency comms. The Boxlight FrontRow + Clevertouch combination offers a single point of accountability, reducing vendor fatigue, integration risk and total cost.
- Equitable Access for All Learners: FrontRow systems are assistive‑listening‑device (ALD) ready and built with speech intelligibility in mind. Clevertouch displays support multi‑modal learning with screen sharing, touch, and device integration.
- Safety & Communication by Design: With the ATTENTION! ecosystem and FrontRow Conductor, emergency alerts, paging, bells, signage and intercom are unified—empowering districts like MISD to enter schools with a modern safety‑ready architecture.
- Scalable, Future‑Ready Investment: Both FrontRow and Clevertouch platforms support remote management, firmware updates, and network integration—ensuring districts can grow and adapt without wholesale replacement.
"Partnering with Montgomery ISD underscores our commitment to putting world‑class learning and safety tools into the hands of educators," said Daniel Morris, Category Manager – Displays (Americas) "With FrontRow and Clevertouch working together across MISD's classrooms and campuses, we are enabling amplified teacher voices, richer student engagement, and faster, clearer communication—whether for everyday instruction or emergency situations."
"Working with Data Projections and Boxlight has allowed us to design a technology roadmap that not only meets our immediate needs but positions us for the future," said Amanda Davis, Director of Technology, Montgomery ISD. "The ability to unify classroom AV, signage, and campus communication into one ecosystem makes a difference for our teachers, students and staff."
