One approval workflow, every roster in view.
Bringing Flock to a district is not an IT project. It is a setup you can finish in an afternoon and a pilot trip you can run for free. Here is the path from first call to district-wide visibility.
What a district gets
District plans add a layer above the individual schools: a single dashboard of every active trip, a trip-approval workflow, and data handling that holds up to procurement review.
- District-wide trip dashboard. See every active trip, how many students are out, and any open SOS across all of your schools on one screen.
- Trip approval workflow. Trip leaders submit a trip; the right admin approves it before any roster goes live or any code is printed.
- Single sign-on. Staff sign in with Google, Microsoft, or Clever — no new password to manage and no shared logins.
- FERPA-aligned data handling. Access is scoped by role and by trip and enforced at the database level. Medical records are limited to nurses and trip leaders.
- Custom DPA & insurance review. We work with your counsel on a data-processing agreement and provide the documentation your district needs.
- Annual safety audit & report. A yearly review of trip activity, access logs, and incidents, summarized for your board.
The rollout, step by step
Most districts go from first conversation to a live pilot in two to three weeks — most of that is paperwork on your side, not setup on ours.
- 1 · Walkthrough. A 30-minute call to see the district dashboard, the approval flow, and how a trip runs end to end.
- 2 · Agreements. We review your DPA and insurance requirements and align on data handling before any student data is loaded.
- 3 · Connect sign-on. We turn on SSO for your identity provider and set who can approve trips.
- 4 · Import rosters. Trip rosters come from PowerSchool, a CSV, or a paste from a spreadsheet — names, grade, allergies, contacts, medications.
- 5 · Pilot a trip. Run one real trip for free. Your leaders and nurses use Flock on the ground; you watch it from the dashboard.
- 6 · Roll out. Once the pilot lands, open it to the rest of your schools. One invoice, once a year.
Who needs to be involved
A rollout usually touches three people: a district administrator who owns trip approval and the dashboard, an IT or data lead for SSO and roster import, and a counsel or procurement contact for the DPA. Trip leaders and nurses are onboarded per school in a single session.
Pricing
District pricing is custom and based on the scope of trips across your schools. There is no per-seat charge for leaders, chaperones, nurses, or admins — Flock is priced per student-trip-day. Title I schools and youth-travel partners qualify for discounts, and every district can pilot a trip for free. See the full pricing breakdown.
