District weighing Skyward upgrade vs. Infinite Campus; staff aims to decide by July 1
Summary
Staff said vendor demonstrations for Skyward (moving to a new platform) and Infinite Campus have occurred and the district intends to choose a student information system by July 1, followed by a one-year rollout and training period.
District staff told the board they are evaluating student information systems to address gradebook and integration problems that complicate standards-based grading. Presenters said Skyward is transitioning to a new platform and Infinite Campus remains a viable alternative; staff held demonstrations and sought feedback from dozens or more staff and parents.
"We intend to make a decision by July 1st," a staff presenter said, noting that a one-year implementation and training period would follow to prepare the district for a full switch. Board members asked about timeline and teacher readiness; staff said next year would be a trial/play year and any full technical switch would occur the following July, with training and data transfer during the intervening year.
