Contract AwardInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 15, 2026

After approving a five‑year agreement with RingCentral in April 2026 to replace its Mitel telephone system, the Board on June 15, 2026 authorized two Professional Services Statements of Work with RingCentral totaling up to $53,181. These cover project management, planning, design, and deployment of the RingEX platform in up to three buildings plus the RingCX contact center used by the Information Services Service Desk. 36 to provide technical advisory and implementation support for the remainder of the RingCentral rollout across district buildings.This indicates a large, districtwide UCaaS migration now moving into active implementation phases. While the core platform (RingCentral) and primary implementation partners (RingCentral PS and Norstar) are established, vendors specializing in network readiness, security, endpoint devices, call‑flow design, training, and integration with other systems (help desk, SIS, emergency alerting) can position themselves for follow‑on projects, optimization, and future refresh of related IT infrastructure.

RingCentral will deploy and train on up to three buildings and the contact center; Norstar supports implementation in remaining buildings and transition from Mitel.
