Case Study: Frederick County Public School District achieves paperless board meetings in a day and saves time and money with BoardDocs

The Frederick County Public School District in Maryland switched to paperless board meetings and you can too

Frederick County Public School turned to BoardDocs' paperless governance solution to replace traditional paper board packets. Concerned that a digital system might not be user‑friendly, the district prioritized ease of use; the Board President recommended BoardDocs after seeing it at an NSBA convention.

BoardDocs delivered hands‑on, on‑site training and a simple implementation—staff trained in one day and held a paperless meeting the next—allowing a rapid transition and laptops for board members. The BoardDocs solution produced measurable savings: about 273 reams of paper avoided per year and elimination of courier deliveries for 468 packets annually, along with reduced staff time and costs.
