Roanoke, VA – January 10, 2025 –Veracity is pleased to announce Bosqueville Independent School District (ISD) has selected Veracity’s Technology Management SystemTM (TMS) to continue to build upon the vision of educational excellence and growth mindset instilled by its leadership. The small McLennan County, Texas district consisting of three campuses and 722 students, is making big strides in innovation.
As most districts experience quite often, Bosqueville ISD found itself with new leadership in Technology and Curriculum after the retirement of a long-standing staff member. Needing to fill the shoes of that position as well as elevating it to meet future demand, Lacey Merrified (Director of Technology) took quick notice of Veracity’s Technology Management System. With her newest peer, Melissa Adams (Director of Curriculum & Instruction), alongside, Merrifield set out to bring transparency to the edtech portfolio and spending associated.
In addition to needing a catalog or library of approved software applications for her staff, Merrifield also understood the value of centralizing all edtech contracts so she and the business office wouldn’t experience a costly renewal oversight (especially being new in the position).
“After seeing Veracity’s Technology Management System, I knew this was the solution I needed to not only get the technology house in order, but to set the team up for future success and continued collaboration with C&I and the business office,” explained Merrifield.
“The Bosqueville ISD story is like so many we hear. A change in leadership occurs oftentimes without a system of record or ‘cheat sheet’ for the successor to hit the ground running. Innovative leaders like Lacey and Melissa recognize the need for prioritizing this type of initiative and the value of temporarily ‘slowing down’ to get everything in order. This type of forward-thinking will catapult the team into a new era of edtech management, including abundant efficiency and savings,” shared Veracity Chief Revenue Officer Amy Dornton.
Merrifield plans to prioritize an automated purchasing and approval process once the edtech Product Catalog is published and all costs are allocated. Bosqueville ISD joins the growing number of Texas districts relying on Veracity as they focus on the future.
