Case Study: Abbotsford School District achieves greater family engagement with Granicus EngagementHQ

How One Growing Canadian School District Increased Engagement

Abbotsford School District, a growing Canadian district with more than 20,000 culturally diverse students across 46 schools, needed a better way to streamline family engagement and manage public consultations. Their existing approach was ad hoc and time-consuming, making it difficult to keep information organized, transparent, and accessible for stakeholders. Granicus helped the district with its EngagementHQ platform to create a more consistent, centralized engagement experience.

With Granicus and EngagementHQ, Abbotsford School District launched a branded 24/7 hub for consultations, feedback, timelines, and multilingual content, making it easier for families and employees to participate anytime. The result was immediate growth in engagement, including awareness in over 1,500 residents for a catchment review, and more than double the awareness and participation compared with the previous year in budget and strategic planning consultations.
