GCS Launches Online Interactive Annual Report
As part of its efforts to conserve resources and maximize community outreach, Guilford County Schools (GCS) has released its 2010 annual report solely online. A 2010 public opinion poll shows 87 percent of parents and eight out of 10 community members have Internet access, meaning an online report reaches constituents without costing the environment, a goal outlined in the district's four-year strategic plan.
According to conservatree.org, one tree produces about 8,333 sheets of paper. By going paperless, GCS is saving approximately 43 trees. In Area VII of "Achieving Educational Excellence," the district commits to reducing the paper workflow. "By releasing our annual report in a digital format, we're 'walking the walk' with regard to our strategic plan," said Dr. Terrence Young, chief information officer. "We're making a commitment to our environmental goals, but we're also showing our relevance in a technology-oriented society."
The annual report includes updates on bond projects, budget allocations, community contributions, student and employee statistics, achievement data, enrollment figures and an overall district snapshot. In addition, it features an interactive map, which shows locations for all of the district's 121 schools.
GCS went digital in 2009, launching its first online annual report, which received an honorable mention from the National School Public Relations Association.
