Bus cancellation notifications straight to your phone are what the new MVSD website will offer.
The Mountain View School Division is developing a new website.
At the most recent school board meeting trustees decided to use the services of Scholantis.
The current provider no longer supports their website and has been outsourcing to another company for the past 3 years.
Superintendent CEO, Donna Davidson explains the reason the division chose Scholantis.
“They had the pricing structure that reflected our budget allocations because we are in a situation of fiscal restraint and we are very mindful of that. We wanted to go with a website that has a cost that’s low, yet at the same time allows us to offset the frontload costs, the building of the site, out of our surplus dollars out of our current budget year. And then the annual maintenance fee that you would have with any website, this one was within our budget that our current budget allocation would allow.”
The new website will be accessible on all platforms including smartphones and tablets and feature push notifications for messages such as bus cancelations and alerts.
Davidson expects the new website to be available to the public by late fall.
