EL DORADO HILLS, CA – October 14, 2025 – KEV Group, the leading provider of K-12 school finance management solutions, today announced a partnership with the Education Technology Joint Powers Authority (Ed Tech JPA), a California-based consortium dedicated to streamlining the technology procurement process for school districts while safeguarding student data with the highest standards of privacy and security.
Through this partnership, ASBWorks — the purpose-built student body accounting software for California schools, acquired by KEV Group in 2024 — is now available to Ed Tech JPA’s more than 200 member districts through competitively bid contracts. Already in use by over 130 of these districts, ASBWorks enables thousands of schools to manage student funds, activities and compliance with greater efficiency and confidence.
“As school districts face increasing complexity in managing school-level finances, the need for secure and easy-to-use solutions that provide visibility into how every dollar is spent has never been greater,” said John Nelson, EVP of Sales at KEV Group. “By partnering with Ed Tech JPA, KEV Group is making ASBWorks more accessible, so more districts can gain the tools they need to see the full financial picture and strengthen accountability.”
Founded in 1996, KEV Group supports 1 in 4 schools across North America, helping districts unify accounting, fee management and payments into a single system. By bringing ASBWorks into its portfolio, KEV Group combines deep local expertise in California with proven scale — managing over $4 billion dollars annually on behalf of schools and districts.
“Ed Tech JPA is glad to have KEV Group as a vendor partner and is excited for these agreements to be available for members to use,” said Brianne Ford, Ed Tech JPA President and Assistant Superintendent, Information Technology at Irvine USD.
