WordPress in Schools – How We Saved Taxpayer Dollars And You Can Too

We are replacing a proprietary SaaS CMS with WordPress for the largest school district in the state (Newark, NJ). We launch our 70+ schools sites Aug 29, 2014 on top of WordPress. Our district site is 30,000 pages and media assets all by itself.

In the end, we are cutting our annual web site management budget in half and have beautiful new web sites powered by WordPress that ease the pain points our content owners, administrators and technology coordinators have when managing their school web sites.

I am the creator of [WPSessions.com](http://wpsessions.com/) and began using WordPress in 2007. In 2011 I started leading and training development teams and really started to come alive. Through WPSessions, I've had the privilege of organizing dozens of WordPress events, producing more than 400 presentations and hosting speakers from all over the globe. Since discovering WordPress, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many amazing WordPress agencies and experts. These relationships have allowed me to help develop sites for Cornell University, Microsoft, Disney, TIME, YMCA, and numerous others. My real passion is for self-directed learning and helping others develop skills and workflows to better solve important and complicated problems. I can’t resist helping good people do great things!
