Patron Insight

A patron is someone who impacts the success of a school district.

In 19 years of working with school districts of all shapes and sizes we’ve discovered one unassailable fact: districts with great patron relationships are dramatically more successful in everything they seek to do.

These successful districts excel in three areas in dealing with their patrons: they consult patrons often; they collaborate with patrons on critical issues; and, they communicate with patrons through multiple channels.

Seen as a whole, we call this the Patron Relationship Model.

We’ve built our business around this model and developed products and services to help school districts build great patron relationships by succeeding in these areas.

Whether you are considering a ballot initiative, doing facility planning, working on your CSIP, considering boundary realignment, contemplating budget options, or simply need to communicate better, we have extensive experience helping you connect with your patrons.

*That’s what keeps us swimming.
