Overview
Bay Village Schools, serving 2,500 students in Ohio's top 5-6%, faced a critical bond election where under 30% of voters had school-age children. They needed an automated feedback platform with secure, multi-channel distribution to prevent ballot stuffing. Sogolytics' AI-powered platform helped secure 60% voter approval and establish ongoing community dialogue.

The Challenge
30%
Parent-voter baseline
Limited Parent-Voter Representation
With less than 30% of registered voters having children in district schools, Bay Village needed to effectively communicate with the entire community and gather opinions from all residents for the critical bond election.
Survey Integrity Concerns
The district needed to prevent special interest groups from stuffing the ballot box with fraudulent responses while keeping the survey process simple and accessible for all legitimate community members to participate and share their viewpoints.
Budget Validation Uncertainty
Bay Village Schools needed reliable data and multiple distribution methods to confidently confirm their budget needs and ask voters for the tax increase required to deliver education priorities that their constituent's demands.
The Solution
Multiple
Distribution methods deployed
Secure Multi-Channel Distribution
With Sogolytics’ AI-powered platform, Bay Village was able to deploy surveys via emails to school families and mailed invitations with unique access codes for households without children, ensuring they could reach all stakeholders while preventing ballot stuffing and maintaining result integrity. 
Streamlined Survey Experience
Sogolytics' custom design and advanced question types made survey experiences faster and smoother, showing participants only relevant information and questions that mattered, which immensely improved data veracity for the bond measure.
Intelligent Survey Logic
Advanced branching and skip logic enabled well-thought-out surveys incorporating all possible participant paths, while easy customization allowed administrators to create engaging surveys for both community feedback and staff communications.
