## REPEATABLE ANNUAL SERIES

###### WAKEFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

*Wakefield, Mass.*

Wakefield Public Schools redeploys our "budget pillar" model each year, carefully forming individual topics of conversation to visualize the key issues their budget faces each year. Our ongoing relationship drives down production costs, which we always pass on to our collaborators.

## SHOW FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

###### NEWMARKET SCHOOL DISTRICT

*Newmarket, N.H.*

Newmarket juggled several complicated budget topics by building them out in shorter "pillar videos." This example is four, two-minute pillars compiled into a "Supercut" video. The district released each pillar separately in an informational series leading up to their school district meeting, then displayed the Supercut at the meeting to inform their community before it considered their warrant articles.

## CREATE UNDERSTANDING

###### NASHOBA REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

*Bolton, Mass.*

As part of their financial transparency strategic goal, Nashoba set out to help their communities understand the various components, timelines, and stakeholders involved in the complex process of building a regional school district budget.

Their beautiful [Finance & Operations Center FAQ](https://www.nrsd.net/page/finance-operations-center) is a terrific model for any district looking to create visual resources for their communities.

## ALIGN EXPENSES WITH GOALS

###### HAMPTON SCHOOL DISTRICT

*Hampton, N.H.*

A highly ranked school district, Hampton took great care to communicate proposed increases in their budget while aligning them to their annual goals and overall mission. This video also converted into a multiplatform series, where five derivative videos could be shared in a series to their community.

Voters in Hampton School District approved this budget warrant article on March 12, 2024!
