LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 9, 2019. FACTS and Mid-South Independent School Business Officers (MISBO) are pleased to announce that they recently extended their partnership agreement. The partnership, which has existed since 2013, previously offered special pricing for MISBO members purchasing FACTS Tuition Management, but is now expanding to offer special pricing for new schools purchasing FACTS Student Information System (SIS) as well.
FACTS SIS automates the flow of information between school administration, teachers, and families. It allows schools to streamline admissions and achieve early enrollment, while also addressing their families’ main priorities of receiving regular communication from the school while measuring and monitoring their student’s progress. The core features of the SIS are extensive and include solutions like: admissions, attendance, cafeteria management, health management, report cards, scheduling, staff information management, and much, much more.
“We are excited to refresh our partnership with FACTS for our MISBO-member schools,” said Jay Danielson, director of the purchasing consortium. “The company’s outstanding customer service was key in our decision to extend our relationship with FACTS. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to working together for many years to come.”
As a supporter of independent schools for more than 30 years, FACTS is dedicated to serving more than 11,500 schools across the country. Through this renewed agreement, FACTS recommits to helping make educational dreams possible for families attending MISBO member schools.
