MWPISD reviews SMS parent‑communication plan and E‑Rate UPS replacements
Summary
Technology director Allen Fox told trustees the district plans to provide SMS messaging for parent communications and will need a public privacy policy stating the district does not sell collected data; he also outlined filing FCC Form 470 to initiate E‑Rate bidding for UPS replacements.
Executive Director of Technology Allen Fox briefed the board on two technology items: a plan to offer SMS services for parent communications and a proposal to replace multiple uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units through the E‑Rate competitive bidding process.
Fox said the district must adopt a public-facing privacy policy for any SMS service and include specific language that the district "does not sell any data collected." He also said the district would file FCC Form 470 to solicit bids for UPS replacement under the E‑Rate program; details about timeline and exact units to be replaced were discussed as part of the staff presentation but no formal procurement motion appeared in the record during this meeting.
