Glynn County Schools seeks ParentSquare renewal and discusses 2026 meeting schedule
Summary
District staff asked the board to renew the ParentSquare communications platform, citing centralized messaging, message-archiving and a 98.2% reachable contact rate. The board also discussed the proposed 2026 meeting calendar and generally favored splitting June into two meetings while keeping December as a single meeting for now.
District staff recommended renewing ParentSquare as the district'wide communications platform, noting the tool consolidates mass notifications, direct messaging for clubs and athletics, and a web "smart-site" component for schools. Staff said ParentSquare lets the district review and archive messages sent by activity sponsors, provides a weekly summary of usage metrics and reports a reachable percentage of 98.2% based on contact data synced from Infinite Campus.
Board members and staff said ParentSquare makes it easier to reach families and to manage communication across teams, athletics and clubs. Users described benefits for travel notifications and for centralizing messages that previously used multiple third-party apps.
The board then discussed the recommended 2026 meeting calendar included in the packet. Members generally favored splitting June into two meetings (to accommodate budget timing) and keeping a single December meeting for now; staff noted the calendar must be voted and advertised on schedule. No final vote on the renewal or calendar changes was recorded in the transcript; staff said they will finalize dates and present them for the required vote for advertising.
