Specifications include, but are not limited to: Supplier shall provide necessary labor, material, equipment, training, and supervision to develop a digital platform and content management system to externally host district/school/teacher websites and a mobile application for Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD). District and school websites will be based on a custom design. All platforms must meet industry standards and state and federal laws for viewing (device responsiveness and browser), security and disaster recovery, web accessibility, multi-language translation, and allow single sign-on access for district administrators, content managers (school and district), teachers, parents and students. Platform must also allow for unlimited users and unlimited storage. The new web platform for DPSCD must include the ability to seamlessly integrate directly with an automated notification system, shared messaging options for social media, global control of all district and school websites from a single content management system, centralized event calendar with the ability to print, and download and export various digital formats (Google Calendar, Apple iCal, and Microsoft Outlook/Office 365), and allow direct communication between teachers and parents and guardians via a native mobile app. DPSCD also prefers its new web platform to have the ability to integrate with its student information system for future display of student schedules, grades, assignments, and links to teachers and blended learning options.
