Challenge	Bloomington Public Schools District 87, serving over 5,600 students in Bloomington, Illinois, was faced with a challenge when Illinois Senate Bill 7 required them to rapidly adjust to the “paradigm shift” of state required staff appraisals. The manual process that was in place was not sufficient to meet the requirements. The district needed a solution that would allow them to complete the evaluation processes electronically. The manual process was not only inefficient but also posed a risk to data security. A lot of time and resources went into backup and security of documents for evaluations. The district needed a solution that would ensure the data and documents are secure both in-transit and at-rest. Read More
About Customer	Bloomington Public Schools District 87 is a K-12 education institution that serves over 5,600 students in Bloomington, Illinois.

Solution	Bloomington began working with ProcessMaker to address the need to have the evaluation processes completed electronically. It took 3 months to design, build, test, and launch the Staff Evaluation process. Today, the process serves nearly 700 staff and faculty, and more than 400 individual instances of the processes are being run monthly. The Staff Evaluation process has been a great success within the district and will continue to be expanded to reflect future legislative requirements. The team has also integrated ProcessMaker with Skyward. Staff Evaluation data is transferred between ProcessMaker and Skyward removing the need for manual data entry. Read More Log in to view content
