About the founder

Built by an educator, for the PowerSchool community

psug.pro comes from two decades inside K-12—starting in a school district IT department, growing through the PowerSchool ecosystem, and returning to serve the SIS teams who keep districts running.

Meet Kaelon Egan

From helping teachers fix computers to building for SIS teams

Kaelon has always been an engineer at heart—a first-principles builder who started young by helping teachers with technology. That work turned into a decade inside Mt. Lebanon School District, where he saw how administrative burden quietly pulls educators away from students.

He founded AccelaSchool to digitize forms and data collection for districts nationwide, then joined PowerSchool after the acquisition. Six years as a VP across professional services and product development put him in the middle of the same community psug.pro is designed to serve: SIS administrators, data managers, registrars, and district technologists who need practical help fast.

Today he builds Solo—an agentic operating layer for accountable automation—and products like reply.school and psug.pro. The mission stays simple: not to replace educators, but to give them time back.

The journey

Twenty-plus years of building for education—always close to the people who use the systems every day.

2003

Started with teachers

While still at Mt. Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh, Kaelon started IT Diagnostics—helping local teachers and community members with technology so they could stay focused on students.

2003–2013

Inside a school district

A decade in Mt. Lebanon School District’s IT department meant working side-by-side with educators and administrators—seeing how paperwork, systems, and support load pull people away from teaching and student care.

2013–2019

Built for districts nationwide

He founded AccelaSchool (Ecollect) to digitize enrollment, athletics, and forms work that used to live on paper. The company grew to serve districts across 40+ states—still rooted in the same educator pain points.

2019–2025

PowerSchool community, up close

AccelaSchool was acquired by PowerSchool. As VP of Professional Services and Product Development, Kaelon led 60+ people across services, support, product, engineering, and operations—learning how SIS teams actually get work done.

2025–

Building psug.pro for that community

psug.pro exists for the PowerSchool educators and SIS professionals Kaelon came up with: faster answers, practical workflows, vetted Pros, and tools that respect privacy and the reality of district work.

Why this shapes psug.pro

The product is an extension of that arc: help PowerSchool educators get unstuck, share what works, and keep humans in the loop.

Educators first
Technology should give teachers, SIS admins, and district staff time back—not add another opaque system they have to babysit.
Community-rooted
psug.pro is shaped by PowerSchool practitioners: the people who live state reporting, scheduling, data quality, and midnight go-lives.
Human judgment stays
AI can accelerate routine work. Sensitive decisions still need accountable human review—the same operating view behind Solo and reply.school.
Services teach the product
The work districts pay experts to do by hand is the clearest map of what the product should absorb next—repeatable help without pretending judgment disappears.

Built for the people who keep SIS work moving

“Not to replace staff, but to give them their time back so they can focus on what matters most: students.”
