Professional Services

Handshake

Northeast Metro 916 provides specialized professional and contracted services that develop from collaboration with member districts. These services impact general education and special education programs as well as support the administrative and operational needs of partner districts. By sharing resources, districts are able to receive cost-effective, expert, and reliable services that are also open to non-member participation when the capacity is available.

Laserfiche document imaging

Northeast Metro 916 licenses Laserfiche services for document imaging, workflow, and more. Our license allows us to facilitate these services to member districts at a cost that is much lower than if they were to do it on their own.

Individual district survey

Our member districts may at times wish to survey their residents before or after a levy referendum, or during other initiatives of interest to the greater community. Northeast Metro 916 reimburses members a portion of the costs of the survey once every three years.
