Deer Park School Buys Computers (07/16/07)
Deer park school board members have agreed to purchase new computers and a software system that will allow parents to view information about their children and the school on the Internet.
...In addition, the board agreed to enter into an $8,555 contract with School Information Systems, Inc., based in Tremont, on a web-based student management system. The contract has an annual renewal license agreement of $2,650.
The system will allow real-time student record-keeping with access from anywhere the Internet is available.
For example, parents will be able to use a password and look up their children's grades, attendance, assignments, discipline, lunch balances and other things.
For teachers and administrators, the program will provide a centralized database that will make data entry simplified and allow for more comprehensive reporting.
