Trustees plan vendor demonstrations to evaluate new student information and ERP systems
Summary
Board members discussed limitations with the current Ascender SIS/ERP, considered alternatives (Ascender, Skyward, PowerSchool), and agreed to schedule vendor demonstrations to evaluate data access and functionality.
Tarkington ISD trustees reviewed challenges with the district's current Student Information System and Enterprise Resource Planning platform, Ascender, and discussed possible alternatives including Skyward and PowerSchool. Trustees expressed a desire to better obtain and utilize data from the system and to compare features across vendors.
The board directed staff to schedule vendor demonstrations and presentations so trustees can evaluate each system's ability to meet district needs. No procurement or vendor selection decision was made at this meeting; demonstrations will inform future action.
