Administrators

As a school administrator, you deal with communication issues everyday - budgeting for communication-related items, meeting NCLB reporting requirements, handling media inquiries, meeting the communication needs of your constituents. It's never-ending!

Simply put...SOCS can bring you peace of mind and an easy way to meet these demands. Here's how:

SOCS offers a cost-savings.
SOCS is provided at a flat fee that includes all basic features, training and support. You don't have to purchase additional hardware or software because SOCS works with what you have.

It's so easy.
You can easily communicate school-related information to the public by posting it on your district SOCS site and by sending a News Update email that pushes the information to your readers.

It helps you control the media.
By setting up a media section, you provide them with instant access to a "fact sheet" about your district; names and phone numbers of your contacts; and an archive of news releases. Using the News Update feature, you can "push" information to them that you want publicized.

You can gauge the community "pulse" on school-related issues.  
The SOCS Survey feature allows you to set up a comprehensive online survey to solicit feedback on school-related issues. It also compiles the results for you into an easy-to-read report.
