Trustees approved eSchoolPlus, a product of PowerSchool Group, LLC, as the district’s new system for student grades, attendance, and other data management starting in the 2019-20 school year.

School districts are required by state, local and federal governments to track student data in compliance with programs and guidelines. A student information system also allows LISD to communicate with families and staff to improve student success.

β€œIt’s extremely important to make sure our technology continues to serve the best interests of our families and the needs of our rapidly growing district,” Board President Aaron Johnson said. β€œThe new student information system will increase functionality, ensure long-term viability to meet state reporting requirements while safeguarding student data.”

The district will negotiate the final contract immediately and hopes to finalize plans in January for a July rollout of the new system.

β€œI am excited about the improved functionality the new system will offer,” said Superintendent Dan Troxell, Ph.D. β€œThis will result in increased productivity for staff and a much better user experience for teachers, parents and students.”
