A SCHOOL DISTRICT UPDATES TECHNOLOGY AND SAVES MONEY BY PARTNERING WITH SOCKET.

EDUCATING WITH THE HELP OF TECHNOLOGY

The Sedalia School District educates more than 4,000 students in elementary schools, a middle school, a junior high, and two high schools. The schools focus on a comprehensive curriculum, including initiatives to enhance the learning environment with technology.

REPLACING AN OLD-SCHOOL PHONE SYSTEM

Communication among teachers, students, and parents depended on a strong voice network. The district's nine schools were previously connected using antiquated technology, so the district chose to upgrade to a digital phone system. However, this required a new service unavailable from other providers. The school needed to focus on keeping their network up and running instead of dealing with phone service hassles.

MAKING THE GRADE

With Socket, the Sedalia School District established a voice network to support its new phone system. They can easily add or change services and have been impressed with the speedy response time when issues arise. Combined with significant cost savings, partnering with Socket has proven to be an A+ decision.
