What Your District Actually Gets — And What Finally Stops Breaking

Your district homepage goes live. A parent lands on the elementary school page. A teacher edits her class schedule. A bus route updates across three languages. All of it fires from one Next.js application—not 45 separate WordPress installs fighting over plugins. Your IT team manages one security surface, one brand system, one deploy. Teachers update their own pages through role-scoped dashboards. Parents filter lunch menus and bus schedules by school and day on their phones. Board meeting agendas publish with searchable PDFs that meet ADA requirements. Adding a new school means adding a database row—not spinning up another site for your two-person IT team to patch and pray over every Tuesday.

Où les projets échouent

Your 2-person IT team is spending 20+ hours a week on WordPress Multisite maintenance — updates, plugin conflicts, broken themes spread across 45 sites Staff burn out. Security holes pile up on every school site that hasn't been patched yet.
Teachers stopped requesting page updates because tickets sit for 3 weeks before IT gets to them Class info goes stale, parents stop checking the site, and teachers end up scattered across Google Docs trying to fill the gap.
Your district site scores a 38 on Lighthouse mobile Parents can't find bus schedules, lunch menus, or snow day alerts on their phones. They miss critical info, call the front office instead, and prospective families notice.
ADA/WCAG compliance is all over the place because every school runs different themes and plugins K-12 ADA lawsuits are picking up — one inaccessible page on any school site creates district-wide legal exposure.
Finalsite charges $3–8K per school per year Across 45 schools, that's $135–360K annually for a platform you don't own. Multi-year contracts lock you in, costs go up automatically every year, and you're essentially renting your own content back from them.
30% of your district families speak a language other than English, but your site is English-only Federal Title III requirements go unmet. Those families disengage, and they don't come back.

Conformité

District Hub + School Microsites

One Next.js application handles the district homepage and 45+ school pages through /schools/[name] routing. Superintendent message, board meetings, enrollment, employment, and news live at the district level. Principal message, staff directory, calendar, lunch menu, and PTA info live at the school level. One deployment. One brand system.

Teacher Self-Service Portal

Teachers log in and edit their own class page — syllabus, homework, announcements, resources — without touching IT. Supabase Auth with Row Level Security means a teacher sees only their class, a principal sees their whole school, and district admin sees everything.

Parent Portal with SSO

Parents log in once and get their child's school, upcoming events, cafeteria menu, bus route, and teacher contact info. Single sign-on ties into your existing SIS for grades and attendance. One login covers the whole district, no matter how many schools their kids attend.

ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance

Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and focus management are baked into every component. One codebase enforces compliance everywhere — not left to 45 separate WordPress themes each drifting in their own direction.

Multi-Language Translation Engine

i18n support for 3–10 languages: English, Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Somali, and more. Batch translation runs about $22 per language — your entire district in 5 languages for $110. WPML costs $199/year plus ongoing per-page translation on top of that.

Event Calendar + Emergency Alerts

District-wide and school-specific events with filters by school and type — academic, sports, arts, PTA, board meetings. RSVP functionality built in. Push notifications for closures, snow days, and emergencies go out instantly.

Questions fréquentes

Comment cela remplace-t-il WordPress Multisite pour un district scolaire ?

WordPress Multisite donne à chaque école sa propre installation — son propre thème, ses plugins et ses maux de tête de maintenance. Cette plateforme exécute une seule application Next.js avec routage dynamique. Ajouter une école signifie ajouter une ligne de base de données, pas créer un nouveau site. Un seul codebase à maintenir, une seule surface de sécurité à surveiller, un seul déploiement qui pousse les mises à jour vers tous les 45+ écoles à la fois.

Les enseignants peuvent-ils vraiment mettre à jour leurs propres pages de classe sans aide informatique ?

Oui. Les enseignants se connectent à une interface d'édition simple où ils ne voient que la page de classe qui leur est assignée. Ils peuvent mettre à jour leur programme d'études, publier les devoirs, partager des annonces et télécharger des ressources. Supabase Row Level Security applique cela au niveau de la base de données — un enseignant ne peut littéralement pas voir ou modifier le contenu d'un autre enseignant. Les directeurs peuvent examiner toutes les pages de classe au sein de leur école.

Comment fonctionne la traduction multilingue et quel est le coût ?

Nous utilisons next-intl pour le routage d'internationalisation, puis traduisons le contenu par lots à l'aide de services de traduction IA à environ 22 $ par langue. Un district de 5 langues — anglais, espagnol, mandarin, vietnamien, arabe — coûte environ 110 $. Le nouveau contenu est traduit automatiquement. WPML coûte 199 $/an, plus les frais de traduction manuelle par page en plus de cela.

Qu'en est-il de la conformité ADA sur tous les sites scolaires ?

Chaque page scolaire partage la même bibliothèque de composants, donc la conformité ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA est appliquée par l'architecture elle-même. HTML sémantique, attributs ARIA, navigation au clavier et gestion de la mise au point sont intégrés à chaque composant une fois et appliqués partout. WordPress Multisite laisse chaque école dériver vers son propre état de conformité. Cette approche offre des scores Lighthouse d'accessibilité constants de 95+ sur chaque site.

Combien de temps prend la migration depuis Finalsite ou WordPress ?

Un district typique de 45 écoles passe du lancement à la mise en œuvre en 13-14 semaines. La migration du contenu depuis WordPress ou Finalsite est traitée par programme — nous extrayons le contenu structuré de votre plateforme existante, le mappons au nouveau schéma et l'importons en masse. La formation du personnel se déroule aux semaines 11-13 afin que votre équipe soit prête avant la mise en ligne.

Quel est le coût de l'hébergement et de la maintenance après le lancement ?

L'hébergement sur Vercel coûte environ 45 $/mois pour l'ensemble du district. La génération statique maintient le calcul minimal même lorsque la saison des inscriptions frappe le trafic. Aucune licence par école, aucun contrat annuel, aucun cycle de mise à jour de plugin. Vous êtes propriétaire de la plateforme. Votre personnel gère les mises à jour de contenu en cours par les portails intégrés.
