Budget-analysis vendor demonstrates automated tool; board requests demo

DeRigo Strategic Advising introduced a tool designed to ingest district budgets, state ED279 reports, and assessment data and present a consolidated dashboard for board review. Cofounder Jason Sharp described the product's ability to accept multiple file types, assimilate line items, and produce tailored briefing briefs for school-board review.

Board members asked for a demonstration specific to RSU 24's FY27 budget. Sharp said the company could provide a 15-minute demo in a meeting or a virtual session and invited board members to try a test account. On pricing, DeRigo representatives described a board edition subscription and separate advisory offerings; in the meeting discussion a ballpark annual figure near $5,000'$6,000 was referenced as the vendor described the subscription tiers. "You just upload it and it takes care of it," Jason Sharp said when summarizing how the tool aggregates disparate budget files into a single view for board members. The board agreed to consider scheduling a demo with staff.
