River Bend Educational District

Build a more secure future for your students and staff, by educating and empowering voters to support your district. Successfully passing a school referendum requires strategic, honest messaging that builds trust between the school district and community members.

By clearly communicating the value of your needs and effectively connecting them to your proposed solutions, you build understanding that drives results. Whether you’re just starting the process or have a fully developed referendum plan, we can help.

customizable videos

AnimatED video content offers an effective and engaging way to deliver and explain complex information to your audiences. Check out our growing list of customizable animated video content to address important issues that school districts face.

Take advantage of these cost-effective, templated explainer videos while still customizing key visuals and messages to your district.

Video Highlight:

Winter Weather Decisions

Winter weather can be disruptive and create unsafe conditions for your students, buses, and staff members. When it comes to making decisions about early dismissals and cancellations, district leaders are under immense pressure to communicate in a timely and clear way.

This animated “explainer” video shares information about how districts like yours make winter weather decisions with student safety as the primary focus. Customized to include your district’s decision-making guidelines, the video ensures that your community can better understand the process and rationale of school delays or closures in advance.

Video Highlight:

Language Access

While your district may have translation services available in multiple languages, do families know what services are available and how to access them? Who is missing out on these services because they don’t know where to look?

This animated “explainer” video shares the different ways your district can communicate in multiple languages. Customizations include the different methods your district provides for translation, the number of languages spoken across your district, ways to contact your district, and your district logo, colors, and website. This video is available in English, Spanish, Somali, and Hmong and can be created in more languages to meet your district’s needs.
