Case Study: Gilroy Unified School District centralizes communications and strengthens crisis response with Finalsite

More than a Vendor Finding a Communications Partner with Finalsite

Gilroy Unified School District partnered with Finalsite in 2018 to launch a new website and centralize its communications. The district needed to move quickly from a previous provider, migrating 50,000 pages of content to 16 new websites in just six weeks, while also addressing inconsistent, decentralized school-site management.

Finalsite helped the district take back control of website administration by customizing access and limiting each school to 1–2 admins, creating a more orderly process and improving consistency across sites. With Finalsite, Gilroy Unified School District was better prepared to manage district-wide communications during a series of crises in 2019 and into the COVID-19 era, while maintaining stronger control at the district level.
