Greetings,

We are searching for a dedicated portal solution for our Board of Trustees. Thus far, OnBoard seems to offer the best solution for the most reasonable cost (at least on paper). 

If your school's Board of Trustees is already using OnBoard (or if you have experience with the product at a different school), would you please let me know? I would appreciate hearing about your school's experience with the product and the company.

Many thanks,
Jim

We are also looking for a dedicated board portal solution for our trustees. I'd be interested to hear what you all decide on! I had been looking at OnBoard as well and agree it seems to be a more affordable solution than some of the others like Diligent Boards, but still has a lot of functionality. I've also been looking at Board Pro and Boardspot, which have unlimited user licensing so would be even a little less expensive while still having good functionality. Thanks for any thoughts on this!

Like @Barry Kallmeyer, we, MKA, use our Veracross portals (& Google) for the Board of Trustees. We looked at the tools that @Jo-Rel Wilkins mentioned; however, with the training, cost, and management of those platforms, we opted for the Veracross/Google model.

Most of our BoT members are either current or former parents and are already familiar with the Admissions and Parent portals. This lowered the initial bar for training. We leveraged the group functionality of Veracross for access and control of certain resources, such as only showing links to resources in Google assigned to a Board member based on their committee memberships.

With Google, we utilize the school-owned Shared Drives and assign access to the BoT and in-school committee members. This allows our internal staff - who have access - to add resources to the folders, control access levels, and manage users and resources within the Google ecosystem. All resources remain in the ownership of the school, and should we need to pivot to a different tool, we have all of those items in one control location.

Happy to walk through the details of this more with anyone interested.
