Board to consider ClientFirst virtual CIO after IT strategic‑plan presentation
Summary
Staff presented an IT strategic plan and recommended contracting with ClientFirst for a virtual CIO to augment IT capacity, develop a help‑desk RFP, and focus district IT staff on cybersecurity and strategic projects; the board plans to meet the consultant in person before formal action.
Staff presented the district's IT strategic plan and recommended a professional services agreement with ClientFirst to provide a virtual CIO. The presenter said the virtual CIO would help develop a help‑desk RFP, advise on cybersecurity and ERP implications, and allow the district IT lead to focus on higher‑level tasks. "Tom Jacobson, who is with ClientFirst, has done a lot of work and knows our team," the presenter said.
Board members expressed support for the approach and for meeting the consultant in person; staff said the contract will be placed on the action agenda following the strategic‑plan presentation so the board can take formal action. Staff framed the arrangement as a near‑term augmentation via consulting contracts, followed by an RFP for help‑desk services.
