Case Study: Donna ISD improves collaboration and parent contact [Published Oct. 2026]

Donna ISD improves collaboration and parent contact

“Unified Communications with RingCentral has been a big hit here in Donna because of what it can do. It can transcribe calls, it has a built-in chat feature so people can instant-message each other across the district. It can do so much.”

- Mike Ramos, Technology Director, Donna Independent School District

For years, administrators and parents at the Donna Independent School District (ISD) used a patchwork voice system that too often left people struggling to make or answer calls. Stronger compliance with emergency call regulations was also needed.

Stretching across the heart of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the district comprises two high schools, four middle schools and eleven elementary schools in southern Texas. Over 12,000 students are enrolled there.

Build routines around cybersecurity

October is Cybersecurity Month, a time for businesses of all sizes to focus on risks posed by bad actors on the internet. Threat awareness is a critical defense; so is vigilance. How do small businesses with limited IT resources maintain a close eye year-round on possible breaches and other forms of cyberattack?

The risk is real. Small businesses are far from immune from cyberattack; many perpetrators see them as appetizing targets.

Colleges and universities find themselves needing to get creative when it comes to promoting digital experiences for students. It’s not only having the right IT infrastructure in place but fulfilling the advanced expectations of younger waves of digital-focused learners.

One common theme of dissatisfaction among college students is a lack of consistency in campus technology. According to a 2025 EDUCAUSE survey, nearly a third of students would rethink their enrollment in a specific college based solely on the quality of that college’s digital systems.
