Case Study: Johnston County Schools achieves a centralized, searchable events calendar with Brightly Software

Johnston County Schools Go from Clutter to Centralized Calendar

Johnston County Schools’ Educator Effectiveness office, led by Kathy Price, supports professional learning for a district of more than 5,000 employees in Johnston County, NC. Managing roughly 20 weekly events across multiple unreliable calendars and running documents made communicating event details chaotic, with overlapping offerings and many people unable to find what they needed.

They implemented Dude Solutions Event Management — a centralized, searchable calendar with filters by keyword, audience and date and a dynamic Google calendar feed — after guided training and sandbox testing. Within three months all event listings were consolidated into one easy-to-navigate place, staff reported faster access and higher satisfaction, support response times were within 24 hours, and Kathy is already recommending the platform district-wide.
