Elizabeth Lalor, Deputy Superintendent for Educational Support & School AdministrationAs an administrator, I want to make sure that if a kid's not there, I want my teachers to call the families before we get a whole administrative intervention and counselors involved. And if all of your communication comes through SchoolStatus, which it does in my district, I can see it all—it’s all right there.Chad Shealy
