Enrollment is your budget
California funds districts on average daily attendance, not headcount. Every family who stays, and every day they show up, is revenue — which makes parent communication a funding function, not overhead.

Why it matters
Five things a superintendent can take to a board meeting.

California funds districts on average daily attendance, not headcount. Every family who stays, and every day they show up, is revenue — which makes parent communication a funding function, not overhead.

A district and twenty campus sites drift apart fast, and parents end up asking a Facebook group instead. Publish a calendar, a closure or a board agenda once, and have it correct everywhere.

Where 15% of a school’s pupils share a language other than English, every notice sent home has to be written in it too. We publish both versions as real pages, not through a translate widget.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is a dated federal obligation for public districts, not a preference. We build to it from the start, so accessibility is never a remediation project with a deadline attached.

District communications is usually a team of one to three. One authoring pass should produce both languages, the accessible version of every document, and the alert — not four separate jobs.
What we operate
Not a product with modules. Twelve pieces of work we run, scoped to what a district and its campuses have to publish, translate, prove and keep current.
One system for the district and every campus.
A site secretary updates a page in five minutes, without a ticket.
Accessibility as a build standard, plus an audit of what exists.
One authoring pass produces English and Spanish as real pages.
Closures, packets and attendance outreach, sent in both languages.
District, school, athletics and board calendars in one place.
Synced from your SIS, so a departure updates everywhere.
TK registration, boundary lookups and transfers as findable pages.
A profile per campus, and pages answer engines can quote.
SARC, LCAP and UCP with owners, review dates and accessible HTML.
Reach by language and campus, reported so a board can read it.
Aeries or Infinite Campus, Workspace and Entra sign-on.
The front door
Twelve things, and they should each take one go.
The body of work
Campaigns, wayfinding, print, merchandise and identity systems.












How it works
Three phases, and no long-term contract.
We read your site the way a parent and an auditor both would, and list what is missing, stale or unreachable.
One platform for the district and every campus. Accessible from the first commit, bilingual wherever the statute applies.
We keep it current — notices, calendars, statutory postings, and an alert when something goes stale.

Districts serving a population of 50,000 or more. The standard covers vendor-delivered pages too, not just your own.

Districts serving under 50,000. Your tier comes from Census SAIPE population — a district cannot claim the later date by calling itself a special district.

The obligations and the economics change with each one.
TK-12 under one board, twenty-plus campuses, one brand.
Enrollment arrives from feeders and leaves on transfer permits.
Publishing for two dozen districts under one obligation.
No attendance cushion — funded on current-year ADA alone.
Tuition-funded, so yield and attrition beat raw traffic.
Service areas measured in thousands of square miles.
Education & school districts
A short call to see what your site owes families today, and what it would take to run it properly.
