strengthening connectivity
The Butler Area School District serves a big community, and that can present unique challenges.
The district encompasses a large suburban and rural area of western Pennsylvania, with fifteen buildings spread across 150 square miles, serving 7600 students and employing 600 faculty members – making communication crucial. Recently, however, the staff began to see outages in the 16-year-old phone system, and the network was showing signs of age, unable to keep pace with the district’s growing educational vision.
