The Vendor Registry has two landing pages for this opportunity. Can you confirm if they should both be there?

Response: 1. Is Special Education, including 504, a requirement? It is not a requirement, but if a solution is available by the SIS Vendor, please share the solution or integration. 2. What do you use for Communication to student and to parent, (i.e. School Messenger/Blackboard) Are you considering replacing this as well? The district’s current communication tool is Blackboard/ParentLink. At this time, we are not looking to replace this service, but are open to other services, if provided by the SIS Vendor. 3. What other third-party systems are you using today, and are there any you would like to replace? This number will be dynamic, as third-party integrations will change based on curricular and educational usage and need. Some sample applications will include, but not limited to: Canvas, Google Classroom, eduCLIMBER, and ClassLink. We are not looking to replace these systems. 4. Are electronic signatures (e.g., DocuSign) acceptable for the forms required for submission? Please provide the SIS Vendor designed solution for submitting forms, which could include DocuSign as the SIS Vendor’s solution. 5. The Vendor Registry has two landing pages for this opportunity.
