Governor Minutes Board Portal Living System – Secure and cloud based
Many school Governing Bodies now manage their Board and Committee meetings with dedicated Cloud based Governor Minutes Management Software.
The significant savings (postage and time) and improvements in efficiency – not to mention security – are obvious to all.
As a bespoke system, the solution from SDS will be designed around your specific specification and, unlike "One-Size-Fits-All" programs, does not contain confusing elements and functions that are not relevant to your requirements.
Additionally...
- Our system will be tailored to match your school's livery and brand identity
- Increasing the number of governors will not increase the monthly/annual cost
- Scanning, digitisation and indexing of your historical paper-based minutes can be integrated with the project

Typical Committees
The system is very straightforward to adopt both from the Clerk of Governor’s perspective and the Committee members.
The system has a simple drag and drop facility which also OCRs the documents and adds the contents to the searchable database. This enables the Chairman/Clerk of Governors to immediately begin work with forthcoming committees whilst also being able to add documents simply and systematically from past meetings. If required, we can also assist with this.
Cost of our system is from £115 per month (SaaS).
