In an age of increased accountability and reduced budgets, school districts are under great pressure to balance the diverse needs of their students and staff with limited financial resources. Looming fiscal challenges with the increase of pension costs and medical premiums have made it even more important for school districts to reduce costs and optimize the use of currently available resources.
Districts that automate key processes and increase operational efficiency will realize fiscal savings that will offset the rising cost and could be repurposed toward mission-critical projects. View an on-demand recording of this presentation below featuring Dr. Gabe Soumakian, retired superintendent at Oxnard Union High School District:
