Case Study: Forsyth County Schools achieves cost savings and streamlined, transparent district operations with Simbli

Creating a Single Source of Information for District Work

Forsyth County Schools, a 46,000‑student district with 37 schools, faced shrinking budgets and the need to “accomplish more with less” while improving stakeholder access to district data and moving meetings online. To address these challenges the district adopted Simbli—first for policy management and later its Meetings software (including planning, minutes and vote‑recording capabilities)—to centralize information and streamline board and school governance.

Simbli delivered a single‑source platform that ties agenda items to strategic goals, supports submitter/approver workflows, and provides remote access (including an iPad app) for board, district and local school council meetings. Forsyth County reports improved transparency, alignment and efficiency, expanded use across all schools, and an estimated savings of $15,000+ annually in paper and personnel costs using the Simbli Cost Savings Calculator.
