50 School Districts Choose Parent Notification Solution from SchoolMessenger and Cisco

SchoolMessenger, a leading U.S. parental notification company, and Cisco, today announced that more than 50 school districts across the country have adopted their integrated parental notification solution. In addition, SchoolMessenger for Cisco Unified Communications, which was introduced last summer, now includes SMS text messaging to supplement voice and e-mail notification to reach a large audience using a range of devices.

Reports show that when notification solutions are used in schools, parents report improved peace of mind, and truancy rates decrease by up to 13 percent. In addition, by managing a single, centralized solution, and using its existing telecom investment, districts report that the solution pays for itself in less than two years when compared with annual subscription-based notification services.

SchoolMessenger for Cisco Unified Communications is a Web-based communications solution that integrates with a district's existing investment in Cisco Unified Communications. It is currently in use in 15 states, with the greatest concentration found in Texas and California.
