Title
C16 - PowerSchool Contract Renewals
Description

These Contracts will allow continued use of PowerSchool products required for the 2025-26 Fiscal Year.  These products and services include: 

  • Job posting portal and hiring/onboarding system

  • Professional development management system and evaluation system (used in state reporting for FTE survey data)  

  • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, which is critical to our district’s financial management and security.

Gap Analysis

Maintaining these contracts will ensure a continued annual renewal discount of 1.5% per year.

Previous Outcomes

PowerSchool supplies Clay County Schools with ERP software (Business Plus), Evaluation, and Professional Development Documentation and Record keeping (Elevate), HR Hiring and Onboarding software (TalentEd Hire and Records and School Spring Job Board access.) These products have been in use in Clay County since 2017, but over the years, all products have been purchased by PowerSchool.

Expected Outcomes

Upon approval, Clay County District Schools will continue with all services provided by PowerSchool, resulting in cost savings, time savings for individuals involved with hiring, professional development, invoices and purchase orders, and improved financial transparency.
