Description
The Newark Board of Education seeks a comprehensive, web‑based special‑education software platform to manage IEP creation, parental notices, Medicaid services, transportation, reporting, and collaborative planning across the district. The solution must integrate with existing systems (PowerSchool, Transfinder, PeopleSoft, Snowflake), support at least 2,000 concurrent users, provide robust security (Azure AD SSO, MFA, audit logs), and include extensive training and support services. Vendors must demonstrate three years of relevant experience with large urban districts and meet New Jersey business registration requirements.
• Core functionalities: student profiles, IEP/notice management, Medicaid/SEMI tracking, transportation module, analytics dashboards, and multi‑language document handling.
• Technical requirements: cloud architecture, SSO via Azure AD, API integrations, data residency in the U.S., scalability, and compliance with FERPA/HIPAA.
• Deliverables: implementation plan starting August 3, 2026, user training (free and paid), ongoing technical support (5 days/week, 8 am‑5 pm EST), and licensing terms (no price increase over a possible 4‑year term).
