2024 K-12 Student Information System Buying Guide

Educational technology has become increasingly more helpful—and essential—to drive streamlined, efficient, and productive operations. And at the center of a school or district’s technology ecosystem sits the student information system (SIS).

Your SIS should serve as a simple-to-use software program that securely manages your student data, making it accessible and valuable for critical educational operations. The right SIS can give your staff flexibility and adaptability to prepare for today’s challenges—and what lies ahead. At the same time, it should offer core functionality and features like accessible data, interoperability, and security.

In this 3-part eBook, you’ll learn how to quickly evaluate your current SIS, questions to ask when assessing systems, and how to choose an SIS that meets your school or district needs.
