Case Study: Kettering City School District achieves global, collaborative classrooms and administrative cost savings with Polycom EduCart

Kettering City School District - Customer Case Study

Kettering City School District in Ohio partnered with Polycom to scale technology-rich, collaborative learning district-wide. CTO Chris Merritt’s challenge was to provide world-class learning that was mobile, budget-friendly and easy to adopt, while also reducing administrative travel and fostering 21st‑century collaboration skills.

They deployed the Polycom RealPresence EduCart, a plug‑and‑play mobile HD audio/video solution that connects classrooms to experts and other schools instantly. Teachers rapidly adopted the carts, students connected with NASA, international scientists and other real‑world resources, and the district realized greater training flexibility, real‑time school communication and measurable time and cost savings.
