20. “Blackbaud’s Total School Solution has made my job easier, and I
am more efficient and effective. In addition to providing information, we
can better understand the financial impacts on the school. Now we can
get that information and make intelligent decisions instead of the
slightly educated guessing game that has been played in the past.”

CFO, J.K. Mullen High School
