Website Training Resources

  • Beginning in 2023, Escambia County Public Schools will use the Blackboard Web Community Manager (WCM) content management system to produce and maintain all of its websites. Sitekeepers will be able to manage departmental websites within the district site, and Tech Coordinators and other designated sitekeepers will create and manage websites for each school in the district. A comprehensive site template has been chosen that offers degrees of customization for each school while maintaining visual and operable consistency throughout the district.

    This site has been compiled and created to empower sitekeepers as they create and manage ECPS websites. Technical support is available by submitting a ticket to ithelp@ecsdfl.us.

    The Quick Start Guide has been prepared to help you update your pages quickly.
