3.4.5. SRS Staff Report
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
The Technology Director shared that the two new forms, Consent for Outside Agency Involvement and Invitation to Meeting, have been reviewed by KSB School Law and we are processing the feedback from them. We plan to release the forms during March, 2024. The project to update the database and software environment continues. We are only upgrading the building blocks of the software to their current versions to ensure security and our ability to maintain and update the system into the future. As such, we don't expect breaking changes or disruption to users of the system when the changes roll out. During the spring, it will be released on our staging servers for key user testing and with successful testing the updated version will roll out in early July, 2024. The SRS team has invited member districts to meet via Zoom with us to discuss the system and collect feedback on its features and their future needs. These meetings have been positive and will provide information to our advisory team to identify and prioritize enhancements to the system. After review of the budget and projected costs, we recommend a 5% increase in the pricing tiers for SRS member districts. That item will be brought to you for action at today's meeting.
