Flexibility for evolving needs
‘‘PowerSchool stepped up, and we had weekly calls to discuss changes, along with all
  the Texas districts because eSchoolPlus has a big footprint here in Texas. Everyone was
 sharing best practices of what they were doing. At the end of the day, we had to have the
 support because now students were working live remotely, either asynchronous or with
 synchronous learning. With eSchoolPlus, we were able to adapt very well as far as changes
  with state requirements.’’

Julie Pedraza | Supervisor, Management Information Systems, Brownsville ISD, TX

A regulatory group you can rely on
‘‘State reporting is our accountability to the state and is how we manage important data.
  PowerSchool’s state regulatory group is superb.’’

Juan Ruelas | IS/PEIMS Coordinator, Weslaco ISD, TX

Meet the needs of your district
‘‘The PowerSchool team made the selection process extremely personal, even offering
 specific examples of how eSchoolPlus could be folded into our current processes. The
 company has a strong reputation of working with districts around the country, and
  we are confident this innovative product will help us better reach our productivity and
 achievement targets where other vendors weren’t able to meet our needs.’’

 Brenda Cruz | Director of Student Information Systems, Leander ISD, TX

Enjoy a collaborative community
‘‘We have a support call every Tuesday that’s a really helpful call where we get a lot of
  information on Texas regulations and things happening. It’s been really helpful to gather
  information from the call and hear from other districts on what they’re doing and how things
 are happening with them.’’
