The Aledo, Texas Independent School District (ISD) is facing what thousands Texas
of independent school districts are throughout the country—how to advance
education and remain productive while enabling students, educators, and Time Frame:

administrators to remain safe at home. When you’re an ISD tasked with
educating over 6,000 K-12 students in 8 different schools, your responsibilities,
strategies, and tactics to support distance learning are not only scrutinized, but
must be transparent. For Aledo ISD, that need for transparency came in the
form of an upcoming board meeting. Like most school districts, board meetings
are held in community forums where citizens are able to attend in person and
have a view into the school district’s important decisions, policies, and routine
business activities. Due to the Covid-19 virus response detailed by state and
local governments, social distancing guidelines are preventing the community
from participating in these important meetings. For the Aledo ISD, Netsync had
the answer.

among board members and stream it live to social media, which would
accommodate as many attendees as needed. It not only enabled virtual

for Aledo ISD.
