Skyward Partners with Panorama to Bring Leading AI and Intervention Solutions to Texas Districts
New partnership reflects Skyward’s ongoing commitment to empowering educators with integrated, innovative solutions to improve student outcomes
STEVENS POINT, Wis., June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyward, a school administration software provider committed to helping K-12 leaders spend less time on tasks and more time with students, is proud to announce a new partnership with Panorama Education. Together with the Texas Education Exchange, this partnership will bring AI-driven intervention planning and research-based Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) tools to school districts across Texas.
Skyward customers in Texas now have direct access to Panorama Solara, a FERPA-compliant AI platform built for K–12, and Panorama Student Success, a proven MTSS platform highly integrated with Skyward’s Qmlativ solution.
As Texas educators increasingly adopt generative AI to save time and personalize learning, districts are seeking secure, scalable solutions that meet high standards for data privacy and compliance. At the same time, mandates like House Bill 1416 require more comprehensive intervention tracking and reporting, which many SIS platforms struggle to meet.
“When districts can securely integrate tools that work together, they spend less time managing systems and more time supporting students,” said Dave Ilkka, vice president of new business development at Skyward. “Through The Exchange, our partnership with Panorama brings powerful AI and additional student support solutions directly to Texas districts, helping them meet HB 1416 requirements with confidence.”
“Through our partnership with Skyward and The Exchange, districts can now leverage high-quality, context-aware AI outputs and research-backed MTSS interventions while upholding the highest standards of student data privacy," said John Ruff, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Panorama Education. “This eliminates data silos, reduces manual work, and supports seamless state reporting and compliance with HB 1416.”
Though Skyward already has an MTSS solution built within its Qmlativ solution, partnering with Panorama Student Success will support additional functionality while directly integrated.
Together, Skyward, Panorama, and The Exchange are delivering a smarter, more secure path forward for Texas districts—one that empowers educators, supports compliance, and drives better outcomes for every student.
