Case Study: Visalia Unified School District achieves greater transparency and cost savings with Diligent Community

Visalia Unified School District sees increased transparency and savings with Diligent Community

Visalia Unified School District, serving about 32,000 students in central California, needed a better way to create board agendas and packets while reducing printing costs and improving transparency for board members and the community. The district was spending significant time managing last-minute edits, handwritten packet updates, and physical distribution, and it turned to Diligent Community for help.

Diligent implemented Diligent Community to digitize agenda and board packet creation, enable secure sharing, and support public-facing transparency tools like livestreams, recordings, and time-stamped minutes. The results included cutting board packet preparation time in half, significantly reducing printing costs, eliminating hand delivery, and improving community engagement and trust while making board meetings more efficient.
