Case Study: Summit Public Schools enables more content contributors and a streamlined website with Finalsite

Summit Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Summit Public Schools, a New Jersey district of nine schools and about 4,200 students, faced a common problem: a decade of community-wide content contributions had turned their website disorganized and inconsistent. The district needed a platform that let many people publish while preserving a unified look and tight editorial control—requirements that led them to choose Finalsite.

They rebuilt the site from a clean slate, trained about 20 staff using a train‑the‑trainer approach and focused coaching on News Manager, File Manager, and Composer, and are launching student-run middle school news desks with webmaster oversight. The Finalsite solution restored consistent styling and governance, empowered authentic staff- and student-produced content, and is already driving better engagement and site traffic.
