Introduction
The Indiana Skyward Users Group falls under the auspices of the Indiana Skyward Users Group Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is comprised of at least one representative from each of the current school corporations in the State of Indiana that uses the Skyward software program in some manner. School corporation use varies from one module to every facet available in both the Financial/Human Resources and Student programs. The Steering Committee meets on an average of every 4-6 weeks to discuss and share information with regard to the software. The Steering Committee makes decisions regarding improvements, defects and/or bugs in the system that need correction, and possible enhancements based upon the experience of the end users as well as the Steering Committee members themselves. We sponsor a fall conference in November. The Conference offers question & answer sessions, what's new, how-to sessions and the opportunity to discuss business in general with peers from around the State that use the same product.
