SUPERINTENDENT’S UPDATE
95. TO Skyward Implementation
Mr. Terence O'Leary, Assistant Superintendent for ITS, updated the Board on Skyward progress, a
tightly integrated student system for capturing and reporting core student and business data.
The project goals were to:
1) enable a student information system that supported the
Superintendent's Targets, 2) retire all legacy systems, 3) provide a centralized repository for all
student data that uses current technology and provides a foundation for collecting basic student
demographic information, 4) integrate all district student, personnel, and business/finance data
applications into a single enterprise application, and 5) enable the process of "user feature
requests".
Next steps involved additional training for new teacher orientation-gradebook, data mining
training refresher for all users, refresher training for ITS programming staff for PROGRESS
programming, training on various learning resources, and deployment of new modules for food
service point of sale, employee time off and on-line student scheduling.
Board members and Superintendent Lannon commended Mr. O'Leary and his entire staff for the
phenomenal progress the department had made and was continuing to make. The planning,
training, and execution had been an excellent approach that resulted in an 80% approval rate.
The district had total control of the process and was now a national model that many were
inquiring about. The district had negotiated an efficient and effective package of implementation
that had set the school system up to be able to add in and integrate an appropriate data
warehouse.
Mrs. Hensley reported that the site for the Amtrak Station in Fort Pierce had been selected and
was moving forward. Also, following several meetings of the Children's Services Council, a
decision was made to hold "best-practices-funded-agencies" harmless from any cuts next year and
hopefully for the next several years.
Dr. Miller informed board members she had scheduled the last follow-up meeting for the "Learn
About Our Schools" project. Recommendations that arose from this and prior meetings were
going to be reviewed and prioritized so that action steps could be developed for later
consideration by the Board during its strategic planning meeting in August.
She then
congratulated Mr. O'Leary and his ITS staff once again for the project they had developed to
simplify the student assignment process for the community.
Mr. Lannon and staff were
scheduled to present the new process to the business community at the next Economic
Development Council (EDC) meeting on July 6, 2010.
Dr. Carvelli congratulated Mr. Ingersoll who had just completed an uncontested election for his
new School Board Member term (2010-2014).
At Mr. Ingersoll's suggestion, board members agreed to start the August 6, 2010 retreat at 1:00
p.m. (ending at 4:00 p.m.) at the PGA Historical Library.
UNSCHEDULED SPEAKERS
There were no unscheduled speakers.
ADJOURNMENT
After conducting all business scheduled to come before the Board, Chairman Ingersoll adjourned
the June 22, 2010 regular workshop at approximately 5:57 p.m.
