DESCRIPTION

The district seeks a comprehensive communications and engagement platform that offers a fully integrated solution for school and community engagement. Essential features include mass notification capabilities for voice, SMS, email, and mobile alerts, as well as emergency communications. The platform must provide staff voice communication functionality, allowing teachers and staff to interact with students and families from personal devices while keeping personal phone numbers private through masked or proxy phone systems. Features must also include the ability to handle voice calls, send and receive text messages, and manage voicemail.

The solution should offer website hosting and an effective content management system (CMS) for both district and individual school sites. Additional requirements include parent and community engagement tools, multilingual communication support, and integration with the district’s Student Information System (SIS) and other necessary platforms. Implementation services should encompass configuration, data migration, and onboarding, with comprehensive ongoing technical support, training, and regular system updates provided.
