The population in Texas has grown 6.7% in the past 5 years. That’s more than twice as fast as the nation and the reason why construction is happening in all the major markets in the state. This is putting intense pressure on our public-school system. Over the last 5 years, Texas ISDs have passed over $50 billion in bonds to address this growing population. New schools are being built at an explosive pace and our ISDs are continuously enhancing their curriculums and technology to compete with the best education systems in the nation. This massive investment is spread across hundreds of ISDs who are working with thousands of vendors. To organize this growing ecosystem, AEC Schools captures vendor products and services by campus. ISDs license the product to bring real-time transparency to vendor work in their district. This greater transparency for the leadership and board, shows how their staff and vendors are managing these investments. AEC Schools centralizes information around ISD administrative, facility, and operational projects. All stakeholders can input and access information, documents, share best practices, and track progress across all the projects and expenditures within their district. This represents a quantum leap forward for our state in terms of both transparency into the use of our tax dollars. Enhancing collaboration across our ISD ecosystem drives better results for our students and communities.
