Wichita, Kansas School District 259
A growing student population has resulted in school staff seeing an increase in students who face social disparities and are also vulnerable to violence and chronic absenteeism.
School staff knew communication was vital and sought to supply students and parents with a mobile device to help access the resources they needed.
Wichita, Kansas, School District 259 saw an increase in steady attendance among the vulnerable population and even located a missing child.
The CPR³ platform allowed support workers to communicate regularly with students and parents through voice, text, and email.
Recognizing that communication was the key to tackle these challenges, the district decided to provide students and parents a means to access the necessary resources through a mobile device. The goal was to strengthen the school community's bonds by facilitating better communication between staff, students, and parents.
School staff knew communication was vital, but only some students and parents had cell phones, and phone numbers often changed, so district officials turned to Premier Wireless Business Technology Solutions for help.
