Choosing school board management software may seem a simple matter: Just get something cheap with an online platform to post agendas and minutes of board meetings and you're good to go. That approach is a formula for buyer's remorse. School boards that have lived with their board management software for a while suggest several crucial features that make all the difference. The best such software addresses 10 key considerations:
-
Does the software keep materials secure?
-
Can the school board use it to comply with sunshine laws?
-
With such software, does the public see none of the confidential material that the school board sees?
-
Does the board management software keep public materials compliant with Section 508 of the ADA?
-
Does the software company provide training support?
-
Does the software help the school board comply with the state's public records act?
-
Do materials stored on the software become searchable?
-
Can the software simplify collaborative editing?
-
Does the software provide a means for board communications other than email?
-
Can the board monitor progress toward goals with the software?
