3=product
meets the
needs of the
customer as it
addresses all
legal
requirements
with access
to all service
providers.
However, not
a common
format among
other districts
in CA to
streamline
application
with student
movement
across
districts.

3=the databases
are relational
and fully web
based. The
software is
updated upon
request
(infrequently due
to personnel.)
The vendor does
not have major
portion of the
market share for
this type of
application.

Specialized

There is zero interoperability

where student information and
case managers/special ed
enter and update information
and inform others of
information by hand.
Transportation is contacted by
phone to discuss service
options. Very few districts use
this application causing
transfer students to lose some
service time until hard copy of
report delivered.

Teachers and service providers

access and update IEP information
ongoing and remotely with web
access. All service providers
contribute to the same report
allowing the plan to be streamline of
the student's special services and
delivery plan to meet
academic/social/emotional goals.
