Education systems provider Maximus has released a new version of its SchoolMAX Enterprise student information system. The update includes a variety of reporting and access enhancements, as well as new features for tracking usage.

SchoolMAX Enterprise is a centralized, Web-based student information system for gathering, analyzing, and reporting K-12 student data. The new release, introduced last week, offers new reporting capabilities (including NCLB reporting) and attendance tools. It also includes:

• A Family Portal for accessing information about attendance, grades, assignments and other student data via the Web;
• Additional multi-lingual functionality;
• Added capabilities for the system's "Audit Trails" for tracking and monitoring activity;
• An integrated scheduler; and
• New attendance tools.
