How Cherokee County School District saved $130,000—and streamlined communication.
Cherokee County School District replaced multiple communication tools with ParentSquare, eliminating inefficiencies and cutting costs across the district. The strategic shift led to an impressive $130,000 savings by transitioning from mailing its code of conduct and student handbook to sending them digitally via ParentSquare.
The move to ParentSquare not only reduced the burden on staff, it also gave families one centralized place for school communications—helping them stay informed, involved, and connected.
“The hard copies were going to cost $130,000 to print and send. Instead, we leveraged ParentSquare to send those documents out with links. That covered the statute requirement and saved the district a great deal of money.”
— Chief Operations Officer, Debra Murdock, Ed.D.

How Taunton Public Schools reduced staff workload, increased efficiency, and cut costs.
Taunton Public Schools is taking full advantage of ParentSquare’s built-in features, like Secure Documents, to save on costs. But that’s not all: The district also uses the platform’s translation capabilities to reach its diverse school community, where families speak 33 different languages.
“Not having to use the traditional interoffice mail or snail mail creates significant cost savings because we can securely email parents their child’s state assessments and other forms. The high school is already doing that, and now our middle school principals are considering how to leverage those resources to be more efficient.”
— John Cabral, Superintendent, Taunton Public Schools
How Columbia County School District replaced three vendors with ParentSquare.
Columbia County School District previously used multiple vendors to handle communications, like SchoolMessenger for phone calls and Remind for texting, which created a disjointed experience. With ParentSquare, the district now has a single, easy-to-use platform that provides families with consistent messaging across all channels—improving school success and supporting positive student outcomes.
“We chose ParentSquare because we were able to replace more than three vendors with just one product. The pricing was also advantageous because we were able to save money without having so many products.”
— Patrick Mitchell, Director of Technology, Columbia County School District
How Oakland Unified School District consolidated systems and came out ahead.
Oakland Unified School District made the switch to ParentSquare to consolidate tools, reduce costs, and support communications that integrated seamlessly with their student information system (SIS). By bringing everything into one platform, the district streamlined communication, made it more inclusive for students and families, and saved money in the process.
“We did side-by-side comparisons with competitors, and ParentSquare was like looking at top-of-the-line version releases against a standard or deluxe package in the competitors. Yet, the consolidation of systems ended up saving us more money than the cost of ParentSquare due to all of the paid systems now being covered within the functionality of ParentSquare. The decision to go with ParentSquare was a no-brainer.”
— Peter Bugno, Spec Student Information Support III, Oakland Unified School District
