Executive Summary:
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide information to District decision makers regarding the need for a project to select and implement a system to replace the Leon County School’s Student Information System (SIS). The executive summary provides historical information on SIS, describes why a replacement is needed, and defines the high-level need, objectives and scope for a possible replacement project. The sections following the executive summary outline proposed project governance, project management strategies and controls that LCS can use in the course of a phased selection and replacement project.
Strategic Business Drivers
The forces urging us forward are particularly strong at this time. These are the primary business drivers:
- Changing K-12 education environment
- Loss of vendor support
- Declining use at peer districts
- Dated technology
- Staffing concerns
- Opportunities presented by new technology
- User support for change
These business drivers push us forward from a risk and compliance standpoint, and/or pull us forward from an opportunity standpoint. Student Information Systems play key roles in fulfilling our mission and in meeting the strategic initiatives of the District.
Project Vision
Provide a transparent, accountable and representative process to evaluate and select a new student information system for Leon County Schools, that takes into account the future business and technical needs of the district, student, faculty and staff.
