Q: Does Book Taco Support Clever District?

Created by Ace Turner, Modified on Mon, 24 Aug at 5:32 PM by Ace Turner

A: No, Book Taco supports Clever Library, which allows individual teachers to find and add Book Taco from the Clever catalog. Book Taco does not support Clever District (Secure Sync), a centralized IT-managed system for entire districts. If your organization requires Clever District integration, individual teachers can still access Book Taco through Clever Library.

What Is Clever Library?

Clever Library is a self-service app catalog where individual teachers can browse, find, and add apps like Book Taco without IT involvement. Teachers log in through their Clever account and access Book Taco directly from their Clever Library. It requires minimal setup and is ideal for individual classroom adoption.

Teachers are in full control — they decide when to add the app and manage their access. Book Taco accounts created through Clever Library use the teacher's Clever credentials for login.

What About Clever District?

Clever District (also called Secure Sync) is a centralized, IT-managed system where district administrators control app deployment and student/teacher rosters are synced automatically. Book Taco does not currently support Clever District integration.

If your district uses Clever District exclusively, teachers can still access Book Taco individually through Clever Library. For district-wide deployment needs, contact the Book Taco team to discuss alternatives.

Key Differences

Who controls it

  • Clever Library: Individual teachers — they browse and add apps on their own.
  • Clever District: District IT administrators — apps are deployed centrally (not supported by Book Taco).

Roster management

  • Clever Library: Manual — teachers add their own rosters to Book Taco.
  • Clever District: Automatic nightly sync from Clever (not supported by Book Taco).

Data shared

  • Clever Library: Minimal — name and email only when logging in.
  • Clever District: Full roster data synced automatically (not supported by Book Taco).

Setup complexity

  • Clever Library: Simple — teachers self-serve, no IT setup required.
  • Clever District: Complex — requires IT administrator configuration (not supported by Book Taco).

What If My District Requires Clever District?

Book Taco currently supports Clever Library only. However, teachers in your district can still access Book Taco individually through Clever Library without district IT involvement.

If your district needs a full centralized Clever District integration with Book Taco, please contact the Book Taco team to discuss your specific requirements.

How Do I Access Book Taco Through Clever Library?

Log in to your Clever account, go to your Clever Library, search for Book Taco, and click to add it. Once added, Book Taco appears in your Clever Library and you can access it anytime. Your first login creates your Book Taco account automatically using your Clever credentials.
