District administrators recommended that the board approve Panorama Education as a district data warehouse and MTSS support platform, saying the vendor offers integrated dashboards, intervention‑management workflows and native connections to many assessment and behavior systems.

Why it matters: The data warehouse is intended to provide teachers and administrators a single dashboard to view academic, attendance, behavior and social‑emotional indicators to support timely interventions, progress monitoring and MTSS decision making. Presenters said the platform has an evidence base and an ESSA‑level rating cited by the vendor; district staff also reported independent studies showing associations with modest gains in reading and math in districts using the product.

Technical and cost details: Presenters said Panorama integrates with 20+ student information systems and many assessment and LMS products; the district’s existing product costs about $26,000 per year and Panorama would be roughly $43,000 per year on average after implementation, a difference the presenters described as in line with similar products. The team reported they negotiated a discount off Panorama’s standard price. The rollout plan described phased implementation: immediate product onboarding, spring culture‑and‑climate surveying, core user training in late spring and a full district rollout in late summer/early fall.

SIS integration and one‑time work: The presentation noted one integration issue: eSchool (the district student information system) did not natively connect and required a one‑time secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) build to automate regular uploads. The board packet included a one‑time consulting estimate for that SFTP work; presenters said manual uploads could operate temporarily during implementation. Administrators said Panorama will migrate existing district data and assist with data quality work.

Board process and next steps: The Panorama agreement and a related one‑time eSchool integration charge appeared on the agenda for board consideration later in the meeting. Presenters asked the board to approve implementation funding and to allow the vendor to begin configured onboarding and staff training if the board authorizes the contract.
