7 MEMORANDUM DATE: December 19, 2018 TO: FROM: RE: WISD Board of Education Scott A. Menzel, Ph.D., Superintendent Approval of New Job Application Software Contract At the Washtenaw Superintendents Association meeting on December 14, the group discussed the possibility of changing vendors related to our job application software. Last year Frontline, the company we currently contract with for Applitracks, increased pricing and in some cases the increase exceeded 20% and was imposed on districts without adequate time to consider other options. Some of our districts were in conversation with TalentEd, a company affiliated with Power School, that provides an applicant tracking system and represents an alternative to our current provider. The superintendents were in agreement that it would be best if we move as a county rather than individual districts opting for a different system. Since the current contract is held by Washtenaw ISD, we are recommending the WISD Board of Education approve a contract with Powerschool Group LLC beginning January 1, 2019-June 30, 2022 as per attached. By approving a contract before the end of the calendar year we are able to lock in a 25% discount as well as the initial six months without charge while the system is being put in place. It is anticipated that the conversion to the new system will be ready by the end of May 2019 at the latest. Students First Packet page 7 of 10
