Case Study: Savannah-Chatham County Public School System improves language access for English language learners with LanguageLine

Savannah-Chatham County Public School System improves language access for 15% Hispanic students with LanguageLine

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) faced significant challenges in communicating with its growing population of Spanish-speaking families. This language barrier prevented parents from being involved in their children's education, leading to misunderstandings and dissatisfaction. To address this, the district implemented LanguageLine's on-demand video and audio interpretation service.

By using LanguageLine, SCCPSS provided access to interpretation in over 240 languages for students, families, and administrators. This solution was part of a larger investment to improve services for English language learners. The vendor's service helped the school system innovate its practices, leading to immediate improvements in communication and increased parental engagement during the first semester of implementation.
