Timeline
Before
A legacy SharpSchool site
West Central Area Schools ran its public website on SharpSchool, a hosted school website platform.
Kickoff
28 planned phases
The rebuild was planned up front as a sequence of phases, each one small enough to finish and verify on its own.
Build
Context, plan, execute, verify
Every phase went through the same four steps, and every deploy was gated on lint, type-check and tests.
June 16, 2026
isd2342.org goes live on Lumi
The district's site moved to Lumi in production, 8 weeks after kickoff.
What changed for staff
Dates are entered once
Calendar events sync from Google Calendar on a schedule, and families can subscribe with an .ics feed.
The directory updates itself
Names, titles, buildings and photos sync from Google Workspace, so new staff appear without a ticket.
Sign-in uses district accounts
Staff sign in with their district Google Workspace account. Access is locked to the district domain.
Old posts take themselves down
News, jobs and pages can be given an expiration date when they're written.
PDFs are fixed on upload
Uploaded PDFs get their language, title and tagged PDF markers set automatically.
