Visions In Education COO To Present At Amazon Business Reshape Conference 

At Visions, technology powers almost everything we do. Our trademarked LPAD Student Support System™ has continued to expand and improve over the years and this progress wouldn’t be possible without our partnership with Amazon Business. 

Since 2015, we’ve partnered with Amazon to strengthen ordering processes for our school. As a school that operates in nine California counties across hundreds of square miles, our ability to quickly and efficiently order curriculum and supplies for our families is non-negotiable. In the beginning, this partnership helped us serve around 4,000 students and resulted in $160,000 in Amazon purchases. Now, this integration helps over 7,400 students and 500 staff process $3.35 million in annual purchases that support our educational work.

This seamless connection allows our staff to focus on teaching and supporting students instead of spending hours processing paperwork and payments. Additionally, it gets materials to our families fast so they are prepared and ready to get the most out of their education. 

Sharing Our Story

Chief Operations Officer, Tom Tafoya, has been leading the charge when it comes to improving LPAD and expanding our capabilities with Amazon. Our model is a great example of what is possible for other schools so this year he is presenting at the Amazon Business Reshape Conference in Dallas, Texas!

Tafoya will join Amazon Business’ Director of Products and Technology, Satya Mishra, to explain how application programming interfaces (APIs) can streamline purchasing, reporting, user management and more.

As one of the largest charter schools in Northern California, investing in technology has been integral in sustaining a positive student experience for over 25 years. We look forward to sharing how our partnership with Amazon Business supports our families and how it could benefit other organizations as well.
