Texas Schools Install Windows-Based SIS

After a rigorous selection process, the Region 10 and Region 12 Education Service Centers in Texas have signed contracts to offer Chancery Software's Win School Student Information System (SIS) to the 650+ school sites they serve in the greater Dallas and Waco areas. Installed in over 1,000 sites worldwide, Win School (previously named CSL Thesis) includes student demographics, discipline, scheduling, attendance and report card modules. The system allows flexible formatting of student transcripts, honor rolls, attendance summaries, letters and mailing labels. Win School comes in single- user and networked versions for Windows; modules can be purchased individually or as a complete package. The initial phase-in of the Texas project will begin immediately and continue over the next five years.
