Background
North East (Webutuck) Central School District had been using an outdated manual letterboard sign, requiring physical updates that were time-consuming and often neglected—especially in bad weather. With a recent school rebranding and a growing need for real-time communication, the district sought a modern digital solution.
Challenge
- Replacing an old letterboard sign to improve visibility and messaging.
- Finding an affordable, high-quality digital sign that met their needs.
- Ensuring a smooth purchasing and installation process with responsive vendor support.
Solution
A board member discovered Cirrus during their research for a sign provider. After evaluating multiple providers, including Daktronics, Webutuck found Cirrus to be the best fit due to its affordability, functionality, and customer-focused approach.
The district selected a 9mm, 4x8 double-sided display to be installed in front of both schools. Given the rural nature of the district, local electricians handled the installation. Despite the self-install, Cirrus provided support throughout the process, quickly shipping additional components when needed.
Now, Robert Farrier, School Business Administrator, manages the sign remotely, keeping students, parents, and staff informed with announcements for PTA events, sports updates, board meetings, and graduation highlights.
- The high-resolution display ensures messages are easily seen, even from a distance.
- ScreenHub, the signage software, makes it easy to update and schedule messages, improving communication efficiency.
- The smooth sales process, fast response times, and Cirrus’ willingness to listen to customer needs made the transition easy.
