Roanoke County, Virginia's SchoolView application is a customized solution that addresses the County’s need to empower their staff and citizens to locate their schools and obtain information about nearby elementary, middle and high schools. The SchoolView app was created from the ground up with accessibility in mind, and an emphasis was placed on integrating the latest technologies to ensure mobile compatibility and the use of location services. The SchoolView app offers government transparency to its citizens, by including school districts and schools near them. It is typically used by residents in a community, but can be used by visitors to locate a school near them in an easy-to-use and mobile solution. Citizens and staff are no longer tied to desktop computers, as the SchoolView app can be used on a variety of mobile devices, from any location.This increased ease-of-use helps streamline the day-to-day operation of staff while giving citizens access to County data whenever, and wherever, they choose.
