Seminole ISD explores replacing PowerSchool with Skyward after data and integration problems
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Glen Teal described recurring issues with PowerSchool—PEIMS reporting, registration and ParentSquare integration—and presented Skyward as a potentially less expensive, lower‑issue replacement; no decision was made.
Superintendent Dr. Glen Teal told trustees the district is experiencing multiple issues with its current PowerSchool student information system, including challenges with PEIMS data management, student registration, ParentSquare integration failures and slow customer service responses.
Dr. Teal presented Skyward as an alternative used by many districts that reports fewer issues and may be less expensive. He framed the discussion as an information item; no vote or formal commitment to change systems occurred during the Oct. 13 meeting.
If trustees wish to pursue a transition staff would need to present a formal cost and implementation analysis at a future meeting.
