Our data specialists can also work with you to make sure you’re set up for success from day one by helping you to select and implement your student information system (SIS).
Pre-Launch Back Office ServicesYour EdTec finance manager and support team will work with you in your planning year to get your charter school back office operations up and running in preparation for the first day of school. During this time, we provide you with necessary forms and instructions as well as share important information we’ve gathered over the last 18 years on new school setup, operational best practices, compliance, and board governance.
SIS Selection/SIS StrategyChoosing the right student information system (SIS) is an important decision, as your staff will use this system on a daily basis for key attendance and reporting tasks. Our data experts walk you through the details of various systems, help you to choose the one that is right for your school, and work with you throughout the setup process.
Board DevelopmentAn active, informed board is an important piece of every charter school’s success. Board development training for new schools is available through EdTec’s back office services and through our partner, social impact consulting firm Third Plateau. This involves identifying desired skill sets, networks, and areas of expertise for the board recruitment process; establishing board member roles and expectations; training board members on school and financial governance; creating accountability plans for school leaders; and identifying areas for on-going training.
