Sarasota County School District Announces Digital Flyer Distribution with Peachjar
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) October 27, 2015 -- Peachjar is helping schools across the nation improve their parent and community engagement. Sarasota County School District has successfully implemented Peachjar’s innovative system for distributing school flyers electronically.
"Sending information directly to parents rather than having students take flyers home saves school staff time and saves community organizations money," stated Gary Leatherman, director of communications and community relations for Sarasota County School District. “It’s a much handier way for parents to get important information from their schools than rifling through a backpack once a week. Peachjar is good for schools, good for the community and good for the environment. What’s not to like?”
By using this new system, Sarasota County School District expects to eliminate the need to print over 2.7 million sheets of paper per year – that’s 328 trees. Additionally, the school district no longer incurs the administrative burden and costs associated with paper flyer distribution.
Sarasota County School District implemented Peachjar’s system for free since local enrichment and community organizations across the nation pay a small service fee to distribute their school-approved eflyers and post them online. These eflyers are sent directly to parents who see them as visually engaging images right on their smartphone or computer screen. Parents click to sign up their children for youth sports, enrichment programs, and community events.
