The Beaufort County School District is asking the public’s help in trying to find a new communication platform.
The school district has released a survey for members of the community to complete as part of the process to select a platform that will meet the needs of all families, students and staff.
The online survey can be found at https://tinyurl.com/bcsdmasscomm.
The BCSD Communications Department seeks to replace BrightArrow, which Is the current communication system, and use one that will unify all athletic, classroom and club communications.
BCSD hopes to centralize communication to make the user experience better, streamline staff training and ensure consistent branding.
The hope is for the improvements to create a “more seamless and user-friendly experience for families across the district.”
“We know that effective communication is the foundation of a strong school-community relationship,” said BCSD Communications Officer Candace Bruder. “We are committed to providing our families and staff with an ideal platform to make connecting with BCSD easier and more efficient.”
The survey will remain open until Friday, Dec. 20 and BCSD encourages community members to complete the survey in order to share their thoughts about this decision.
