Case Study: Richland School District Two achieves 95% collection rate and $120K annual savings with RYCOR

Richland County School District Two Achieves Efficiency, Consistency, and Transparency with RYCOR’s Fee Solutions

Richland School District Two, a growing district serving about 27,000 students across 41 schools, faced low collection rates and frustrated parents because fees could only be paid in person, fee structures were inconsistent across schools, and receipting was manual and labor‑intensive. The district selected Rycor to provide an online fee management and payments solution (Rycor Fee Management, Rycor Online Payments, and Rycor Advanced Forms) to bring consistency and convenience.

Rycor implemented a standardized district‑wide fee structure, online payments integrated with the PowerSchool Parent Portal, and automated data exports to the finance system, giving staff real‑time visibility and reducing manual work. The results include over $9.3M collected online, average collection rates above 95%, an estimated $120,000 in annual labor savings, reduced cash/check handling, and increased transparency and convenience for families and staff.
