The State of Washington is seeking a qualified vendor to provide modernization services for its school apportionment financial systems. The project aims to transform current processes into a unified system that emphasizes quality, accountability, transparency, and robust calculation capabilities. Modern technology is to be leveraged to integrate data collection, calculation, and reporting, forming a central calculations hub.

Key requirements include developing a user-friendly platform where data is stored and calculation formulas are displayed using plain English field names and operators. The system must generate district-specific reports, offer functionality for modifying data validations (CRUD), and maintain a calendar for both internal and external users indicating data collection deadlines. Additional features include the ability to create custom reports, manage overwriting or appending incoming data based on type, and publish interactive reports to public-facing websites with filtering options.

The contract for these services will span three years, with a pre-bid conference scheduled. This modernization effort represents a comprehensive upgrade of the state's school funding administration and reporting tools.
