Oregon SIS Update #13
OSIS Edupoint Contract Completed The Oregon SIS Consortium contract for a new student information system has been finalized with Edupoint as of Friday, February 17, with Salem-Keizer School District’s execution of the Master Agreement. We will send out information on how to participate early next week, along with an information packet from Edupoint, and clarification on next steps. We are planning a conference call for all interested Oregon districts, ESDs, and ODE representatives on Friday, March 2 from 10 am to 12 pm, and will provide those details next week as well. Thank you to all who participated in this effort, and a special recognition goes to LaVon Maskell, Salem-Keizer Purchasing Coordinator, for her expert procurement leadership throughout the process.
