Beaufort County School District

When Beaufort County School District (BCSD) set out to modernize its communication strategy for a complex digital world, it needed a better way to listen to its community. The goal was to spark constructive dialogue, combat misinformation, ensure accessibility for all stakeholders and capture actionable engagement data. By launching BCSD Connected—a modern, inclusive hub powered by Granicus Sentiment & Feedback (EngagementHQ)—the district successfully transformed its communication model into a true connection strategy. By meeting community members on their own terms—online, on any device and on their own schedules—BCSD has created a trusted, accessible space for meaningful participation.
