FISHERS ISLAND UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT ADOPTS “NEXT GENERATION” BOARD MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY BoardDocs Solution Enables Organization to Save Time, Money and Dramatically Increase Effectiveness
Fishers Island, July 5, 2023 — Fishers Island UFSD is leveraging Cloud-based technology to radically improve its governance processes while saving staff time and taxpayer dollars. The remarkably powerful, easy-to-use service will allow the organization to maximize the effectiveness of its board meetings with increased transparency, providing a basis for better and more open communication with the public while dramatically improving productivity and saving thousands of dollars annually.
Policy Development and Publication and Meeting Minutes Editing are two compelling feature upgrades for users. This will allow all BoardDocs LT subscribers to streamline the important work of Policy Governance. Additionally, BoardDocs LT now adds the ability to edit and attach minutes to meetings. LT subscribers can edit minutes from the Meeting Dashboard by importing the agenda and simply using the editor. Once saved, they can attach a minutes agenda item to a future meeting.
Additionally, BoardDocs LT will increase the number of time members of the board have to review agenda information, enabling them to better prepare for meetings. Through the MetaSearch feature, members of the governing body will also have access to best practices from other governing bodies using the system, allowing them to gain important knowledge about initiatives other governing bodies have considered and implemented. Electronic distribution will save time and resources and provide unprecedented public access via the Fishers Island School web site to agenda items and other board-related information. This process will allow interested parties to review information before meetings. All documents associated with the meeting are automatically archived and can be accessed by date or using the system’s comprehensive Search feature. The new board management features can be accessed via the organization’s Web site at www.fischool.com/page/boarddocs.
