Board approves purchase of reunification-focused Singlewire software; contract term discussed
Summary
The district approved purchasing Singlewire software emphasizing student reunification during crises; board discussion centered on three- versus five-year pricing and training fees, and staff emphasized reunification as the priority feature.
District staff recommended purchasing Singlewire software to support student reunification in crisis situations and possibly add visitor-management features later. The administrator said the district focused on reunification capabilities and intends to train staff; board members discussed contract-length options and one-time fees before approving the purchase.
A staff speaker summarized pricing options presented in the memo: an approximate five-year plan averaged about $1,900 per year over five years, while a three-year option ran about $2,400 per year (the transcript records those figures in discussion). The staff speaker also noted training will be part of the vendor contract. After board discussion over which term to choose, a motion carried to proceed; the meeting transcript does not unambiguously record which contract term the board selected in open session.
Officials said the reunification module was the district's priority because it supports staff coordination and accountability for students during emergencies; visitor-management features were described as a possible future addition.
