Board hears plan to switch finance system to Skyward; implementation planned for late 2026
Summary
Administrators told the board the district selected Skyward for finance and operations, budgeted $30,000 this year and will implement as part of a regional consortium with an expected rollout in late 2026; the change aims to improve payroll and asset tracking.
Administrators reported that the district has selected Skyward as its new finance and operations software and budgeted about $30,000 for the current fiscal year.
The administration said implementation will not start immediately because the vendor stages rollouts to ensure training capacity; the district expects to implement in late 2026 and to begin paying annual costs at that time. The move is part of a consortium approach with neighboring ISDs to share implementation and staffing resources.
The presentation noted that the current system is slowing and that moving to a more broadly used platform should improve resilience for payroll, invoicing and asset tracking. The board did not take a final procurement vote during this discussion but the budget line this year will cover the down payment for the vendor.
