Enrollment Expansion SPPS recently partnered with Avela to deploy Explore, Apply, Match and Sync along with a custom Capacities Module, signaling a strong focus on streamlining enrollment and school choice for over 33,000 students across approximately 70 schools. This indicates opportunities to cross-sell enrollment management analytics, capacity planning, and integration services.

Grants & Programs The district received a $24K grant from the Japan Foundation for adding an online Japanese 1 section, highlighting openness to program expansion and language/bilingual education initiatives. This creates potential for language learning technology, curriculum enrichment platforms, and grant‑funded digital learning solutions.

Workforce Readiness SPPS has active partnerships related to adult education and workforce pathways, including Hospitality Minnesota and the Operating Engineers Pathway with a Sandbox classroom. This points to opportunities in adult education tech, workforce readiness platforms, career pathway analytics, and employer partnerships.

Technology Stack Utilizes a broad tech stack (AWS, Drupal, Qualtrics, New Relic, Kronos, Pendo, AudioEye, Mailgun) which suggests receptiveness to modern software, analytics, accessibility, and user experience improvements; potential for expansion in edtech integrations, data analytics, and personalized learning platforms.
