Our Commitment to Helping Schools Thrive in the Next Normal

COVID-19 has impacted education forever. While “back to school” will look different this year, we’re inspired by the resilience of entire school communities — from teachers and counselors to students and families — as they navigate this period of change. 

K-12 leaders are meeting increased needs and addressing heightened inequities to support their students and families in a new, learn-anywhere world. If one thing is certain about the future of education, it’s that supporting a connected experience for all students is more critical than ever before. 

We’ve been working closely with school leaders to learn how we can help, and we heard three key things: delivering equitable student support is critical as schools navigate remote environments; for schools that are reopening, safety is top of mind as well as access to wellness data for efficient decision making; and frequent family communications are essential to keeping parents engaged and informed, no matter where they are. 

Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell, Superintendent of Oakland Unified School District, said, “What’s important is that we’re getting the right services to the right students at the right time to operationalize equity.”

To help our schools thrive in the next normal, we’re deepening our commitment to education through our latest grants—bringing Salesforce’s total investment in education to $118 million—as well as our technology. Today, we’re announcing new innovations in Education Cloud for K-12 to help schools drive equitable student support, safety, and family engagement from anywhere. 

Keep reading for an overview of our community-driven innovations for K-12 schools and districts.
