Increasingly, district leaders are incorporating video into school-home communication. Many districts that tried video options out of necessity during the pandemic are seeing the benefits that video can provide for parent engagement and are expanding video options even as schools are back to in-person instruction. Districts are finding that using video can improve school-home communication by making the process of engagement easier for parents.

When it was time for New Albany–Floyd County Consolidated School Corp. in Indiana to upgrade its aging server and storage hardware, it could have purchased another server and storage area network.
