SIF Hits the Road With the Compliance Beta Program

School/District Criteria

To ensure the Compliance Beta Sites are prepared to support this developmental testing, schools or school districts interested in participating in the Compliance Beta Program must apply to become a SIF Compliance Beta Site. Schools must also meet some technical and administrative criteria, which is available on the SIF Web site.

In addition, because a SIF implementation involves not just software installations, but true application interoperability, much of the work of a SIF implementation involves data and management decisions at the school and district levels. As a result, any school interested in becoming a Compliance Beta Site may wish to rely on the services of a third-party integrator, such as a local consulting firm or educational service agency, to help support the departmental and data management efforts necessary to achieve the efficiencies envisioned by SIF.

Conclusion

Supported by many of the leaders in educational software, SIF is dedicated to helping schools move toward more efficient and effective data management practices so they will be better able to support success for all students.

For more information on how your school can become involved, visit the SIF Web site at www.sifinfo.org or e-mail Tim Magner at tmagner@siia.net.
