Designate a district liaison as the primary communication contact relating to the GIS maintenance and operation.

Liaison needs to be familiar with district computer operations; no background in GIS or demographics is required.

SDGIS is yours to use on a perpetual basis. During the first year we provide support by phone, email and Web. We also provide maintenance updates as applicable to software and documentation.

We recommend that SDGIS be a permanent part of the District's planning, developing, and evaluation resource set. We provide optional updates and continuing support on an annual basis.

SDGIS fees are based on formulas that use factors including district total population, number of students, and number and type of schools.

Examples

School district with population 13,000 total population, 2,000 students and two primary schools:

•	Basic SDGIS -- $3,700

•	Basic SDGIS without student shapefile -- $2,500

(without the "geocoding of student address file and creation of student point shapefile" (see above list)

•	SDGIS, all options -- $13,000

School district with population 145,000 total population, 20,000 students and 23 primary schools:

•	Basic SDGIS -- $9,900

•	Basic SDGIS without student shapefile -- $3,500

(without the "geocoding of student address file and creation of student point shapefile" (see above list)
