Nextiva: A Smarter Way Forward
Classroom instruction has rapidly modernized with digital tools, but the systems that enable communication between parents, staff, campuses, and emergency responders remain outdated and fragmented in most schools. Aging PBX systems, clunky paging tools, and siloed communication channels weren't built for today's demands. These outdated systems inflate costs, complicate daily operations, slow emergency response, and overburden IT teams.
Nextiva delivers a unified communications platform built for the specific needs of K-12 districts. With Nextiva powering voice, video, SMS, email, paging, and alerting all in one cloud-based solution, districts gain:
Reduced Cost
Up to 40% savings by replacing multiple tools with one solution
Improved Safety
Real-time emergency alerts and room level e911 tracking
Better Family Engagement
Integrated, easy-to-use communication with families, staff, and students
Streamlined IT Operations
Automatic automation and centralized control
Future-Ready Scalability
that grows with your district

What's At Stake?
Outdated systems create risks that schools can't afford from missed emergency alerts to parent frustration and overworked IT staff.
Districts across the U.S. report the same challenges with aging PBX systems:
- Soaring hardware, maintenance, and expansion costs
- Siloed tools creating communication delays with staff and parents
- Lack of emergency readiness, including missing E911 location tracking
- Overwhelmed IT teams
- No scalability for hybrid models, mobile staff, or district growth
