The Minister’s vision was to have a central point of contact for all information relating to the student population within the public school system (Virgin Islands School District) of the territory of the Virgin Islands. The Ministry and Department of Education’s focus was to change the way business was conducted in the public schools and to get parents more involved in the daily academic and extra-curricular activities of their children. PowerSchool is a centralized student information database that is accessible via any standard web browser. Education Administration (principals, assistant and deputy principals, office staff, nurses, guidance officers and truancy officers), teachers, parents, students and other stakeholders will have access to information in “real-time”.
