There was certainly no rest for the weary this summer when
it came to the District's Web site (
www.browardschools.com).
If you haven't logged on recently, you should!
The site underwent a total redesign to make it more user-friendly
and provide even more information than before. Our site
receives about 1.2 million "hits" each month
from all over the world, including Saudi Arabia, New Zealand
and Great Britain. Over the past few years, the site has
been honored for its design and purpose, winning a Bronze
Anvil Award from the Public Relations Society of America
and a 2001/02 Golden Web Award from the International Association
of Webmasters and Designers.
Helpful Updates
While we are proud of how far our Web site has come since
its early days, we're not satisfied resting on our laurels.
We've updated it and enhanced its features so that it now
contains a wealth of information, including:
· school addresses
· telephone numbers
· photographs and links to school web sites (where applicable)
· school-by-school grades
· lunch menus
· yearly calendar
· standardized test scores
· district reports
· construction projects
· employment opportunities
New Features
Along with a new design, the Web site has debuted a few
new features:
·
BCPS NetTV - featuring video highlights of events taking
place around the District
·
The Reporter's Notebook - designed with reporters in
mind, providing access to frequently requested information,
generic video footage and still photographs
·
History of Broward County
Public Schools - created with
the assistance of the Broward County Historical Commission
to provide a general overview of the history of public
education in the county
Our Web site has emerged as a vital communication tool
for the District and we will continue to look for ways
to ensure it provides valuable information to our community
- both locally and globally.
