Salem-Keizer Public Schools hosts regular board meetings, webinars, and seminars. It also has events dedicated to parents that engage them in their children’s education by keeping the parents informed and allowing them to participate in the schools' decision-making.
These events reach a vast community of parents who speak more than 107 languages. They can tune in via local television, the internet, and online recordings on YouTube.
Given the wide array of multilingualism in the families, Salem-Keizer Public Schools needed a solution that provides a top-notch interpretation of niche educational topics and an accessible app for all the parents to engage equally.
