Board hears finance software replacement plan; Skyward selected, implementation deferred
Summary
Board was briefed on a multi-district finance software effort; staff recommended Skyward, budgeted $30,000 this year and expect implementation in fall/winter 2026 as part of a regional rollout.
District finance staff briefed the board on a long-running process to replace the district's finance system and said the consortium selected Skyward as the new software. The district budgeted approximately $30,000 for the year toward the replacement and expects implementation to occur in the fall or winter of 2026 as part of a staged consortium rollout.
The finance presenter said the system will improve payroll, invoicing and asset tracking and reduce single-point failure risk by aligning to common software used by area ISDs. Staff warned the board the implementation is resource intensive and will be scheduled when the vendor can handle district cohorts; the district will pay this year's down payment and defer annual subscription payments until implementation begins.
Board members had brief discussion and noted the long lead time for data migration and staff training. The board did not take further action beyond acknowledging the plan.
