Thanks for the heads-up, we fall into the small schools using JMC. We
actually use very few of its features.

I have heard rumblings of a possible state wide SIS, but I do not know
how the state would be able to finance such an accomplishment. I filled
out a survey last fall on the data collection process through EASIER.
If we had a different system, how would we all get the training to make
sure it
I sure hope the legislature understands the magnitude of the job of switching a
school district from one SIS to another: time, personnel, training,
infrastructure expenses..

Anyone familiar with the the state-run/developed applications for our
courthouse systems would be lenient when it came to a school-based
system. The state has their own systems in place for the Recorders
Offices (http://www.iowalandrecords.org) and for the Treasurer's Offices
(DOT specifically)
I attended one of the forums they held regarding this. My
intuition on this was there were several certification problems
before Fall BEDS/EASIER was due with some vendors. Part of this
possibly due to the fact that we have so many different vendors that
the market isn't big enough for
We're currently using SASI but will be switching to something else as soon as I
can pull it off. I've been watching this study pretty carefully because I
don't want to make a change only to deal with a state mandated change a few
years later. What SIS are other districts in the 1500-2500
