Built for New Yorkers, by New Yorkers!

One of the many advantages our SchoolTool Student Management System has, is that it’s an SMS built for New York State districts by a company headquartered in New York— Mindex! We also like to share the fact that we’re New Yorkers, too.  We’ve got the pull-up banners touting our commitment to NYS at conferences, it’s all over our website, in our brochures, and gets brought up frequently in our user group meetings with Regional Information Centers (RIC), BOCES, and school districts. 

With all that said, we decided to engage in a fun data gathering exercise with our SchoolTool team here at Mindex, just to visually see our personal connection to the State! We pride ourselves on being New Yorkers supporting a solution for student management dedicated to New York State, so why not put data behind it? 

Everyone was asked to share which NYS districts they attended, and where their children go/went to school.  We then took that data and plotted every person on a New York State map!  It was awesome to see where clusters formed, and that we really do have a connection to every part of New York State… from Niagara Falls to Long Island, from the Adirondacks to the Southern tier.   

We can only imagine how much this would grow if we continued to plot the rest of the Mindex organization— our Software Development teams within our Professional Services Statement of Work (SOW) and Cloud Services divisions, as well as our Talent Acquisition and Human Resources team! 

Many of our own staff grew up in New York, with their own children attending NYS districts. Our parents and spouses are educators navigating the state’s requirements. We pay New York State taxes. If you’re a New York State educator reading this blog, you should know we’re in this with you, and your success is ours! #NYStrong
