Recently, a committee was charged with reviewing our current student information system and comparing other available options to find the one that would be the most user-friendly and suit our system's needs.
The committee ultimately decided that
Infinite Campus is the best fit for Englewood Schools. The Board of Education voted to approve the new system, and we will be making the switch in the coming months, with full implementation for the 2017-2018 school year.
Lori Martinez, currently
Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, will be taking on a new role,
School Support Services Specialist, to directly assist schools with this transition in the coming months and into next year. She will also be assisting the finance department in providing direct support to schools around budget and finance. Her background in financial support and student data management make her a perfect fit to support schools and the district in this important work.
Before making this decision, the Board is seeking feedback in a number of ways. First, it held town hall meetings at both Bishop and Maddox. Second, it is conducting a survey of the community (link to the survey is below). Third, the Board will hear public comment on this issue at its regularly scheduled meeting on February 7, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. in the Venue at TEC (3800 S. Logan St.)

School committees will have the opportunity to review all materials for each candidate interviewing at their site prior to the start of the school process. School site teams select candidates to move on to finalist interviews with the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent on the afternoon of the school interviews. These interviews are based on feedback from the site interview team and intended to go deeper into topics selected by the school team. Phil Bedford and Joanna Polzin will facilitate the process at each site.
Monday, February 6
: Final candidates selected. Announcements to staff and community will be made pending scheduling with selected principals and schools.
As always, please reach out Patty Hanrahan, Phil Bedford or Joanna Polzin with any questions you may have! This is a collaborative process.
