District plans InTouch rollout to centralize registration, payments and fundraising
Summary
District staff told the board it will adopt InTouch as a one‑stop parent portal linking student info, payments, meal accounts and fundraising; fees are about 3% plus $0.50 per transaction and are lower than some prior vendors.
District staff described plans to adopt InTouch for athletics and activity registration, payments and fundraising. The presenter said InTouch will bridge the student information system and financial system, provide a single parent login for multiple children and include an athletics registration component and a fundraising storefront.
Staff explained the vendor fee is roughly 3% plus $0.50 per transaction and is lower than some alternative platforms that take up to ~30% of donations. “It will not take 30% of what they fundraise,” a staff member said, adding the district plans to absorb fees in ticket prices or event fees rather than charge donors directly in most cases.
Staff also noted InTouch can sync with the meal‑service account so payments post to student meal balances. The board discussed timing and requested hard‑copy materials about the rollout timeline and staff support for parents during the transition.
