District staff outline renewal of Aptigy/Thrillshare website and communications subscription
Summary
A district staff presenter described renewing the district’s contract with a vendor identified in the transcript as 'Aptigy' and its 'Thrillshare' product, which the presenter said provides district and school websites, emergency parent communications and a new family engagement 'rooms' feature planned for fall.
Rosanna Brutin presented to the Montgomery County Public Schools board on June 30 about the annual renewal of the district’s subscription with a vendor identified in the transcript as "Aptigy" and its "Thrillshare" media product.
Brutin described the subscription as the district’s primary communications infrastructure, supporting the district website and individual school sites, a latest‑news section, emergency communications with parents, mobile messaging and a family engagement "rooms" feature the presenter said will be implemented in the fall. "Renewing our contract with Aptigy means renewing the communication infrastructure that supports every school in Montgomery public school," she said during her remarks.
Board members thanked Brutin and asked no substantive follow‑up questions in the recorded portion of the meeting. The superintendent later presented a consent agenda (items A–K) that the board approved unanimously; the transcript does not explicitly state whether the subscription renewal was contained within that consent package or will return as a separate action item.
