District to replace 15-year-old phone system with cloud solution in June; upfront cost likely from safety grant
Summary
District staff told the board they selected a cloud phone vendor (identified as GoTo in the meeting) and plan installation in June; the current system is about 15 years old and parts are no longer available. Staff said initial costs are expected to come from a safety grant, pending final confirmation.
S6, a district staff member, told the board the district is replacing its legacy phone system with a cloud-based solution and expects installation in June. "We finally have come to a, agreement for a new phone system, a new company called Go to, that they're gonna install a cloud phone system, in June," S6 said, and added the existing system is approximately 15 years old and is obsolete.
Staff said they vetted several vendors and selected the solution based on peer district recommendations and an end-of-year pricing arrangement. S6 said the upfront cost "is gonna come from the safety grant, I believe," and the district will confirm final funding sources before procurement. The new system will include desktop phone apps and a messaging integration intended to centralize communications.
