PowerSchool to Acquire Kickboard

PowerSchool has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Kickboard, a provider of K-12 behavior management and social-emotional learning (SEL) software, to integrate Kickboard’s capabilities into PowerSchool’s Unified Classroom. The acquisition is intended to give educators a more comprehensive view of student behavior and wellbeing by combining behavior management, SIS, LMS, and analytics; Kickboard and PowerSchool will continue to operate separately until the transaction closes.
