The Chicago Public School system has renewed its contract with Schoolnet, according to information released by the company this week.

"We are lucky to have a comprehensive leadership vision to become the best urban school district in the country, a high quality internal team, and a strong partnership with SchoolNet."
Schoolnet's performance management system includes Web-based software programs that allow district and school administration to access teacher instruction and student data and analysis reports. Technologies include benchmark testing and analysis, curriculum and instructional management, and centralized data integration and management.
Chicago Public Schools comprises 655 individual schools with about 25,000 teachers and administrators.
