Barksdale, the pioneer of school photography, celebrates 101st anniversary Mr. S.P. Barksdale, the founding father of the school picture industry, was employed by the WilsonMagazineCompany in theearly1900s. In1922, hisgood friendwas the superintendent of the Philadelphia Public School System. As the district was building its student files, Barksdale was asked to provide photos of each student to be attached to the records. He agreed, as long as he could also sell the photos to the parents to help pay for the service. Other school districts heard of the idea and asked Barksdale for photos of their students. The school picture industry was born. S.P. Barksdale even built the first school picture camera. Today, Barksdale – under the leadership of S.P.’s great grandchildren – provides school picture services to more than 2,000 schools across the country from their headquarters in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Barksdale Group is ready to service the needs of your schools and students Our main objective is to make the transition smooth and successful We will put a designated team together just for your district to ensure the transition is seamless District staff will not have to assist in the transition The Barksdale Group Representatives will be available for on-site meetings for initial implementation, meeting with all key people in each building Each meeting takes about 45 minutes

Transition Team Sales Team meets with every principal, secretary and yearbook person in order to determine any specific needs Each school will be assigned its own individualized job number and production order form detailing requested items School Support Team enters all data into our School Tracking Account Records (STAR) system The STAR system was designed especially for school photography and is capable of managing all information pertaining to tasks and deliverables for each contract From scheduling photography to tracking production, this information is stored in our database Data Management Team works with district IT support to request and obtain the student data needed for picture day and service items

Photography Team conducts a site survey of each building to determine prime photography locations The Barksdale Group has a team of over 30+ photographers, many of which are local to your district The exact number of photographers assigned to each school is determined by overall enrollment Production Team: The Barksdale Group is a vertical operation; all photo processing is done at our Pennsylvania production facility The production supervisors meet daily with their teams to insure optimum quality control over the entire process, from flyer creation to finished portrait product delivery Customer Service Team: Our bi-lingual customer service team is here to assist administrators and parents alike in an efficient and friendly manner Providing excellent service is one of the hallmarks of our organization, and one we take great pride in
