Approval of a new website and mass communications vendor

Operational Excellence Strategies 4 Engage our community on an ongoing basis to determine its priorities, foster partnerships, and promote learning.

Background
|
Currently, District 200 has utilized the same vendor for website and mass communications (email, phone, text) via two separate platforms for more than 10 years. Recently, the vendor was acquired by a new company. Additionally, the District's contract with our current vendor expires on June 30, 2023. These two factors provided staff the opportunity to explore other vendors to support the District's website and mass communications needs.

Summary:
|
Staff from the Communications and Technology Departments researched and evaluated several vendors who provide both website and mass communications solutions tailored to schools and school districts and brought two options to a group of principals and administrators to review. Both District and School Administration believe that Apptegy's website, mass communications, and mobile app specifically, would significantly improve and streamline communication within our school community with parents, students, staff, and the broader community.
