WHEELING The new Ohio County Schools app is getting the word out about happenings in the school system.
The app has been up and running for about a month, and feedback thus far has been positive, according to Gabe Wells, director of communication for Ohio County Schools. It is not known yet how many people already have downloaded the Ohio County app.
It was crafted by Apptegy, an Arkansas-based software firm focusing on the development of marketing strategies for schools. Ohio County Schools paid $8,000 for the initial development and start-up up of the app, which also included the development and launch of a new Ohio County Schools website, said JoJo Shay, innovation coordinator for Ohio County Schools.
