Amarillo ISD Improves Functionality, Reduces Phone Costs With Digital Communications System

摘要

It's said that everything is bigger in Texas. While that may be debatable, Amarillo Independent School District (AISD), on the sweeping plains of the Texas panhandle, definitely does justice to its state's reputation. The district encompasses about 70 square miles, serving 30,000 students with 4,000 employees across 50 locations. Phone communication keeps the widely distributed AISD faculty and staff in touch with parents and each other, as well as helps enhance communication per federal education standards. In 2004, the district began exploring options for upgrading its phone system—with phones for every teacher as its ultimate goal. AISD's outdated existing phone system led to staff and cost inefficiencies.
