Digital Solutions

The Digital Solutions team serves the data, reporting, applications, and custom development needs of the district. We help select, install, test, develop, modify, and maintain an extremely broad set of applications that support critical functions, mandatory CDE reporting, HR, payroll, finance, benefits, recruiting, student information systems, instructional programs, and educational requirements, which affect every department, school, and stakeholder group connected to District 11.

Fundamentally, all student and staff data are managed or processed by the Digital Solutions team.  Programmers along with database and system administrators orchestrate the flow of staff and student data within District 11 applications and between District 11 and scores of vendors. Digital Solutions staff provide training, issue resolution, and custom support for staff and teachers using student data systems throughout the district. Specific areas of support and development include (at a high level):

    • Database development and support for crucial self-hosted systems, such as PeopleSoft and PowerSchool Special Programs
