Site Offers Schools Administrative Services

  • 02/01/97

Operated by Specialty Systems (SSI), The Virtual School is a server site that uses the Internet to provide administrative services for schools and parishes.

Besides services such as student schedules, report cards and class rosters, SSI owns and operates the computer hardware, OSs, databases, administrative software and staff needed. The Virtual School serves as an affordable alternative to installing and running expensive equipment at one's own site.

SSI expects that elementary schools, which typically have limited staff and computer resources, will benefit most from the firm's data processing services. Specialty Systems, Inc., Louisville, KY, (800) 223-2537, [email protected].
