Summary:
|
|
PowerSchool provides Business Plus, a fiscal system that supports all business services within MDUSD. Our current version, 7.9, was designed in 2016 and is no longer current. The challenges we have faced in our fiscal department, and subsequently districtwide, stem from the fact that PowerSchool can no longer support version 7.9 because it is four generations below the current version, 1912. The Chief Business Officer surveyed users districtwide to identify concerns and work through the initial phases of the required upgrade to version 1912. The quote the board is asked to approve will increase the initial renewal of $78,991.85 at the 9/14/20 board meeting by $224,244.45, for a revised contract not to exceed $303,236.30. The contract includes the cost of an enterprise management service with nightly data backups, cybersecurity, infrastructure support, and 24/7/365 systems monitoring, a service needed to respond to the technology changes resulting from COVID 19, remote work, and staffing shortages. |
