Summary
The Unionville-Chadds Ford board approved a quote to implement Incident IQ as the district service management system for $8,730.13, replacing the current help-desk platform at an estimated lower cost.
The Unionville-Chadds Ford School District board voted unanimously April 21 to approve Incident IQ as the district's new service management system, accepting a quoted price of $8,730.13.
Miss Anderson moved the approval and the board voice vote was 9'0in favor, 0 opposed. The motion covered the quote presented by technology staff that recommended Incident IQ as a school-focused help-desk platform that integrates with existing district systems and supports a K'12 shared knowledge base.
Why it matters: the technology team reported Incident IQ was intuitive, tailored to schools and roughly half the cost of the district's current platform. District technology director Matthew Webb led the vendor evaluation and told the board the platform would streamline ticketing and knowledge sharing across buildings.
Board action The motion on agenda item 4.1 read in part: "I make a motion to approve the quote from Incident IQ in the amount of $8,730.13 as our new service management system." After a short presentation and no board questions, the motion was approved 9'0'0.
Next steps Technology staff will finalize contracting and implementation planning, and will coordinate training for building-level staff and help-desk operators.
Ending Board materials show the district expected reduced ongoing costs from the new platform; no separate appropriation vote was required beyond the approved quote.
