The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) is seeking information from vendors to gather information for the development of a future solicitation for a School Funding Management System. The system should be a cloud-based, integrated platform that manages the calculation of the School Finance formula and programmatic auditing of inputs used in the Total Program funding calculations for Colorado’s K-12 school districts. The system must have the following components: Data Integration Module, System Level Auditing & Internal Controls, School Funding Calculation Module, Transportation Module, Programmatic Audit Module, System Integration and Architecture, and User Interface, Training, and Documentation. The system must be scalable, flexible, and automated, with real-time updates and accurate reports. • Key features of the system include: • Data Integration Module to collect and validate data from school districts • System Level Auditing & Internal Controls to ensure accuracy and compliance • School Funding Calculation Module to calculate funding allocations • Transportation Module to calculate transportation funding allocations • Programmatic Audit Module to ensure accuracy and compliance of student and transportation data • System Integration and Architecture to facilitate seamless integration with external systems • User Interface, Training, and Documentation to support system usability and training
