The Stevens Point Area Public School District board approved two procurement items during its meeting: awarding the independent audit contract to Kerberos and purchasing updated routing software for the transportation department.
Finance staff summarized a competitive RFP process for the district's annual independent audit. Three firms submitted proposals and two — CliftonLarsonAllen and Kerberos — scored highest during technical reviews. After oral interviews and reference checks, staff recommended Kerberos, citing a roughly 33% cost savings (about $13,800 in the evaluation presented) and strong reference reports. The board voted to engage Kerberos for three fiscal years starting 2025–26 with two optional one‑year extensions.
On transportation, staff recommended replacing an outdated routing platform with Tyler Technologies’ Traversa and Tyler Drive solutions. The administration compared Tyler to Transfinder across multi‑year fees, user licensing, training hours, tablet costs, included RFID student cards, and cellular costs for tablets. Staff estimated a startup cost of $151,663 and an annual fee of about $53,967, and said they expected to fund the startup across the 2025–26 and 2026–27 transportation budgets. Board members asked about driver and family benefits; transportation staff said driver tablets and GPS integration should improve safety and provide families with better route information. The purchase motion carried.
The motions were approved by voice vote; the chair announced "Motion carries" after each vote.
