Software selection

A clearer workspace evaluation for school board teams.

Start a software evaluation with a clear separation between campaign records and school-system records. A small team needs an understandable handoff process, not a long feature checklist.

Start with the administrative work

  1. Keep campaign contacts separate from student, family and district records. Do not import school-system information into a campaign workspace without appropriate authority.
  2. Record who owns each administrative task and where the current version lives, so a part-time coordinator can hand work over without forwarding entire inboxes.
  3. Use fictional records when testing search and review screens. Verify access controls before entering real personal information.

Questions to take into a software evaluation

  • Can a new coordinator find a record and understand its provenance?
  • How will records be handed over or retained when the team changes?
  • What are the total costs, support arrangements and export options?

Try a small, honest example

Explore a related fictional workflow, then write down which interactions you could actually complete. Ask for evidence of anything that remains untested.
