Faegre Drinker Represents Kinvolved in Sale to PowerSchool

A Faegre Drinker team led by corporate partner Matt Stamski and associate Vanessa Tabler advised Kinvolved, a leading provider of K-12 communications, attendance and engagement software, in its sale to PowerSchool, a provider of cloud-based education tools. The transaction closed on February 1. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Headquartered in New York, Kinvolved is the leader in solving the student disengagement crisis, by building foundational relationships between school and home that get students to show up to class.
