Board renews Panorama surveys for one year; staff to transition toward Infinite Campus if suitable
Summary
The board approved renewal of the district surveys — including Panorama for one additional year — and staff said they plan to migrate surveying functions to Infinite Campus next year if it proves sufficiently robust.
Johnston County Public Schools on Tuesday approved the district’s annual set of surveys, including a one‑year renewal of the Panorama survey platform while staff continue evaluating Infinite Campus as a longer-term replacement.
During discussion, district staff said the Panorama tools the board previously approved will continue this school year under a one-year renewal. “You all approved the renewal just for 1 more year,” the presenter told the board. Staff said Panorama will continue for the current year while the district explores whether Infinite Campus can host survey functionality next school year.
Board members asked practical questions about why the renewal was limited to one year and whether the Panorama content included the new student-success curriculum self‑assessments; staff confirmed the curriculum self‑assessment items are part of the packet presented to the board.
A board member criticized the Panorama contract’s cost and expressed frustration with paying the vendor; staff replied that the short renewal preserves continuity while allowing a planned migration to district systems if Infinite Campus proves adequate.
Ending: Board approved the surveys as presented; staff said they will continue testing Infinite Campus for survey functionality and return with recommendations before next school year.
