For schools & districts

Built for the people running the morning.

NextStop replaces the call tree, the spreadsheet of routes, and the hand-held radio — with a single dashboard your front office already wants to leave open. Same software for one elementary or forty buildings.

02 — District-grade by default

One contract, forty schools, one dashboard.

Districts get a tenant model that mirrors how your buildings actually work — not how the software wishes they did.

  • Multi-school admin

    Per-school staff, per-school routes, per-school branding. District-wide reporting on top.

  • SSO — SAML & Google Workspace

    Staff log in with district credentials. Parents log in with the email on file at school. SCIM for provisioning.

  • White-label

    Your colors, your logo, your domain on the parent and dashboard apps. We don’t put our name in front of families if you don’t want us to.

  • SIS integration

    Direct connectors for PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, and Aeries. Nightly roster sync.

03 — Implementation

Four weeks. Yes, really.

Most schools can go live before their fourth Monday. Here’s the rollout we use with transportation teams.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery & data prep.

    A 60-minute kickoff with your transportation lead. We map your routes, drivers, vehicles, and SIS to NextStop’s data model. You don’t fill in spreadsheets — we read your exports.

  2. Week 2

    Staff onboarding.

    Front-office admins and dispatchers get one 45-minute training. Drivers get the app pre-configured with their routes; first run is supervised.

  3. Week 3

    Driver shadowing.

    Drivers run their normal routes with the app on for a week. We tune ETAs, fix any stop ordering, and validate the roster. Parents still don’t see anything yet.

  4. Week 4

    Go live to parents.

    A school-branded email invites parents to download the app. Within 72 hours, >85% of households are active. The phone in the front office stops ringing the same week.

04 — Procurement

Built to fit how districts actually buy software.

We’ve done procurement with twelve districts. We know what your purchasing department needs before they ask.

  • Master Service Agreement

    Standard MSA covering K–12 use cases, FERPA, and indemnification. Redlines accepted; usually closed in 2–3 rounds.

  • Data Privacy Agreement

    We sign the SDPC National DPA out of the box. State-specific addenda (CA, NY, IL, TX) supported.

  • Insurance & indemnification

    $5M general liability · $5M cyber liability · $2M E&O. COIs available within 24 hours.

  • Cooperative purchasing

    Available on TIPS-USA and Sourcewell contracts — skip the RFP if you prefer.

  • Net-60 invoicing

    PO or credit card. Annual or fiscal-year billing aligned to your calendar.

  • Pricing & tiers

    Per-bus-per-year, with district volume discounts. See pricing.
