Discussion:  Mike Danehy (ESU 2), Jordon Clark (ESU 10), Ben Anthony (ESU 17) and Scott Isaacson (ESUCC) have been developing a platform (Enterprise Grade - flexible) that would bring statewide efforts together. Everyone gets needs but still have some control. Gaining efficiencies and better services for statewide efforts. Common ticketing system, project management to be included. Reduce duplication of efforts for everyone. Possible to collaborate efforts with NDE on Data Dashboard on some shared responsibilities. Scott reviewed the project that Illinois is using, the four men visited them for a week to gain their knowledge. Cross state collaboration, we would do a MOU to support the collaboration. The software used is called Blue Box (open source software - hired developers to develop.) This would enhance efforts with the Edfy project. This group will be meeting (June 17) at ESU 2 to include Dave, Commissioner, and Tech Committee to discuss this further and create timeline. Include universities and Network Nebraska in discussion for future.

Discussion:  Discussed concerns with ESUs (ILCD, Project Para) and $5000 fees. Can we give those funds that do not use services their share back to use as they wish. ILCD and Project Para are categorical areas, funds need to go to those specific areas. Scott Isaacson will send Master Service Agreement out to ESU Administrators.
