Edupoint Synergy Education Platform Named ‘Next-Gen School Solution of the Year’ in 2026 EdTech Breakthrough Awards

Award recognizes unified approach to K-12 data, instruction, support, operations, and analytics

MESA, Ariz., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Edupoint® Educational Systems today announced that Synergy® Education Platform has been selected as winner of the “Next-Gen School Solution of the Year” award in the 8th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

Synergy Education Platform is a modern K–12 student data management system built to connect insight to action across the full student lifecycle. With a single, unified data model underlying student information, teaching and learning, student support, district operations, and analytics, Synergy gives districts a seamless foundation for managing daily work, improving visibility, and supporting timely decisions.

Built around four natively connected solution areas—Core SIS, Teaching & Learning, Student Support, and District Productivity—Synergy provides one source of truth and one access point for the role-based tools and real-time information needed for daily operations, classroom instruction, student services, communication, and reporting.

Synergy connects teaching and learning with the broader student lifecycle by tying curriculum, instruction, grading, and performance data directly to the student record and related workflows. Teachers can use real-time gradebook, LMS, and assessment data to identify learning needs, adjust instruction, and connect students to additional support when needed.

That same shared data supports coordinated student services across MTSS, 504, and special education processes. Because instructional context, intervention history, documentation, and progress data stay with the student, educators and support teams can work from complete, current information as needs change over time—and classroom teachers can continue supporting students with the right context in view.

Across district operations, Synergy extends that same connected foundation to administrative workflows, communication, program management, and reporting. Interactive analytics and role-based dashboards help leaders reveal patterns, improve consistency, and make faster, better-informed decisions.

“Synergy Education Platform is a modern student data management system that blurs the lines between SIS, instruction, and student support workflows,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. “Districts and educators can quickly identify what needs attention and take the next step within the same system, without delays or workarounds.”

The EdTech Breakthrough Awards program recognizes standout educational technology products and companies across the global edtech market. In its 8th annual cycle, the program drew a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries.

“Being recognized again by EdTech Breakthrough reinforces the continued relevance of our platform strategy,” said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. “Synergy reflects where K–12 technology is headed: toward unified systems that reduce complexity, improve visibility, and help educators act with greater speed and confidence.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 23, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Edupoint® Educational Systems has been re-selected as a state-approved student information system (SIS) vendor under Tennessee’s latest SIS contract, enabling the company to continue building on more than a decade of commitment to serving Tennessee school districts.

Through the state-approved contract, Tennessee school districts can evaluate and select the system that best meets their needs without conducting a separate procurement process. All components of the Synergy® Education Platform are offered under the contract, with the core Synergy SIS suite as the required starting point.

Districts can expand their Synergy offering to replace third-party solutions, often saving significant time and money. Implementing additional modules enable districts to create a comprehensive, real-time source of truth connecting administrative, instructional, and student support workflows for every student from registration through graduation — helping educators translate student data into action. The full-featured native solutions offered in the platform include LMS, assessment, MTSS with early warning system, special education and 504 plan management, and advanced analytics.

Edupoint has already added six new Tennessee districts to the Tennessee user base in 2026. These districts, representing more than 20,000 students, are replacing their existing Skyward SIS solution for the 2026/27 school year. Today, Synergy serves 36 Tennessee school districts supporting 185,000 students statewide, and more than 5.5 million students across 21 states.

“Our continued growth in Tennessee highlights the importance of having accurate, accessible data to support student success,” said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. “Synergy helps districts eliminate data silos, improve efficiency, and empower educators with the real-time information they need to make informed decisions for every student.”

New Mexico Public Education Department Selects Synergy Education Platform by Edupoint as Statewide Student Information System

Unified platform will reduce costs, streamline reporting, and deliver actionable statewide and local analytics to support student success

SANTA FE, N.M., Feb. 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Edupoint® Educational Systems today announced that the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) has selected the Synergy Education Platform, including Edupoint’s Synergy for States solution, as the state’s first statewide student information system. The initiative marks a major step forward in New Mexico’s efforts to modernize its K–12 data infrastructure while improving data access, consistency, and decision-making at both the state and local levels.

Image caption: Synergy modules in New Mexico’s SSIS offering.

For more than a decade, PED explored the possibility of implementing a single statewide student information system to replace the seven or more disparate systems used across New Mexico. Those fragmented systems made it difficult to share data efficiently, support student transfers, and access timely, accurate information for reporting and analysis. Recent improvements to the state’s data collection processes, combined with new legislative funding, made the transition to a unified, statewide solution possible.

“Moving to a single statewide student information system is a major step forward for New Mexico,” said Mariana Padilla, cabinet secretary of the New Mexico Public Education Department. “This initiative allows us to reduce costs, improve data quality, and ensure that districts and educators — as well as parents and students, who rely on the system to stay informed and engaged — have equitable access to modern, reliable tools that support teaching, learning, and student success.”

PED conducted an extensive competitive evaluation process that included statewide stakeholder input, product demonstrations, and in-depth reviews of functionality, usability, value, and cost. The department gathered feedback from internal teams, an external advisory group, and student information system power users from districts and charter schools across the state. Following two rounds of vendor presentations, stakeholders unanimously recommended Synergy.

“As we evaluated statewide solutions, Synergy stood out for its ease of use, strong core functionality — including support for special services — and the overall value it delivers to districts,” said Gregory Frostad, assistant secretary of the New Mexico Public Education Department. “Equally important was the Synergy for States analytics framework, which gives both PED and districts access to timely, actionable data to support better decision-making.”

Through Synergy for States, PED and participating local education agencies will have access to SEA- and LEA-level analytics designed to move beyond traditional dashboards. These analytics surface attendance trends and early warnings, graduation readiness indicators, and other key patterns, enabling educators and leaders to identify emerging issues earlier and take informed action to support students.

Under the statewide model, PED will make the full Synergy platform available to participating local education agencies, including student information management and integrated solutions that support teaching and learning, assessment, analytics, and a multi-layered system of supports. This approach ensures that districts and charter schools of all sizes have equitable access to the same comprehensive set of tools.

“We designed Synergy for States specifically to help state education agencies turn data into action,” said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint Educational Systems. “By unifying student information, special services, instructional tools, and statewide analytics in a single platform, Synergy enables states and districts to move from compliance-driven reporting to proactive insight — supporting better outcomes for students at every level of the system.”

Implementation will begin this summer with an initial cohort of local education agencies representing a significant portion of New Mexico’s student population, including large urban districts as well as rural and charter schools.

‘Websites are a thing of the past’ declares GPT AI Corporation, Inc. with Launch of EdGPT.ai Platform for Educational Institutions

Advanced conversational AI technology addresses widespread website accessibility failures affecting 94.8% of websites, according to WebAIM Million 2025 study

BUENA PARK, Calif., Aug. 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Educational institutions from preschools to universities adopt AI-powered communication platform that eliminates traditional website barriers, GPT AI Corporation, Inc. today announced the launch of EdGPT.ai, an advanced conversational AI platform specifically designed for educational institutions, while declaring that “websites are a thing of the past” based on comprehensive research showing widespread website accessibility failures.

EdGPT.ai from GPT AI Corporation, Inc.
Image caption: EdGPT.ai from GPT AI Corporation, Inc.

The announcement comes as the 2025 WebAIM Million study reveals that 94.8% of the top one million websites contain accessibility barriers, with educational institutions particularly affected by communication challenges that traditional websites fail to address.

RESEARCH VALIDATES WEBSITE COMMUNICATION CRISIS

“The data clearly shows that traditional websites systematically fail users,” said Aftab Jiwani, Founder of GPT AI Corporation, Inc. “When 94.8% of websites contain accessibility barriers and users encounter errors on 1 in every 24 website elements, it’s evident that websites are a thing of the past.”

EDUCATIONAL SECTOR FACES UNIQUE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES

Educational institutions experience particular communication difficulties, with administrative staff spending 15-20 hours weekly answering repetitive questions about schedules, policies, and procedures that should be accessible through digital channels. Research indicates that 73% of parents will not return to a school website after experiencing poor usability.

The communication gap becomes more pronounced during non-business hours, with 68% of school information requests going unanswered for over 24 hours, leaving families frustrated and disconnected from essential school information.

EDGPT.AI PLATFORM ADDRESSES EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATION NEEDS

The EdGPT.ai platform serves educational institutions across all levels, from preschools through higher education, including both public and private sectors.

The platform replaces traditional website navigation with conversational AI that provides instant, accessible responses to common inquiries.

Early implementation results demonstrate measurable improvements in educational communication efficiency. Initial school users report a 65% reduction in administrative phone calls and a 75% improvement in prospective family engagement. The platform provides 24/7 accessibility, addressing the communication gaps that occur when school offices are closed.

COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL SPECTRUM COVERAGE

The platform addresses specific communication needs across different educational levels:

Preschool and early childhood centers utilize the technology to handle parent inquiries about daily schedules, pickup procedures, meal programs, and developmental policies without requiring staff intervention for routine questions.

Elementary schools implement the platform to address homework policies, lunch menus, after-school programs, and classroom procedures, reducing the administrative burden on school staff while improving parent access to information.

Middle schools leverage the technology for complex scheduling questions, extracurricular activities, and academic policies as students transition to more independent learning environments.

High schools utilize the platform for graduation requirements, college preparation information, athletic eligibility, and career planning guidance, reducing pressure on guidance counselors while providing immediate student and parent support.

Higher education institutions, including community colleges, universities, and graduate schools, implement the technology to address admissions requirements, financial aid information, course catalogs, campus services, and academic policies for prospective students, current students, parents, and faculty.

TECHNOLOGY ADDRESSES WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY FAILURES

The EdGPT.ai platform utilizes Generative Pre-trained Transformer technology specifically configured for educational communication. Unlike traditional websites that present static information through complex navigation structures, the conversational AI system understands educational context and provides personalized responses based on user needs.

The technology directly addresses the accessibility failures identified in the WebAIM Million 2025 study by providing 100% accessible interfaces that eliminate navigation requirements and offer unlimited personalization capabilities. This approach removes the barriers that affect 94.8% of traditional websites.

IMPLEMENTATION RESULTS DEMONSTRATE EFFECTIVENESS

Educational institutions implementing the EdGPT.ai platform report significant operational improvements:

Administrative efficiency increases through an 80% reduction in repetitive staff inquiries, allowing educational professionals to focus on direct student support rather than answering routine questions.

Parent engagement improves with 24/7 instant support capabilities, enabling families to access information about schedules, policies, events, and procedures regardless of office hours.

Communication accessibility reaches 100% compliance, eliminating the barriers that affect nearly 95% of traditional websites according to the WebAIM research.

Response time improvements provide immediate answers to replace the 24-48 hour email response delays common in educational settings.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY COMPLIANCE

The EdGPT.ai platform maintains educational privacy standards by utilizing only publicly available information from school websites and approved materials. The system complies with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requirements while providing comprehensive communication capabilities without compromising student privacy.

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS DESIGNED FOR EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS

Educational institutions can implement the platform through a streamlined process that recognizes the unique operational requirements of schools. The setup involves entering the current school website URL, allowing EdGPT.ai to automatically gather necessary information. Additional school data, including handbooks, calendars, policies, and staff directories, can be uploaded to the knowledge base, enabling the school’s conversational AI site to become operational within minutes.

RISK-FREE EVALUATION FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

GPT AI Corporation, Inc. offers educational institutions free trial periods specifically designed for school evaluation cycles. This approach allows administrators to assess the platform’s effectiveness before making financial commitments, reducing barriers to adoption while demonstrating the advantages of conversational AI over traditional website communication.

MARKET IMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATION

The EdGPT.ai launch represents a comprehensive approach to addressing educational website communication failures. By targeting the specific needs of educational institutions across all levels and sectors, the platform demonstrates that website accessibility and usability problems span the entire educational spectrum.

The platform’s focus on educational communication recognizes that schools have unique requirements that generic website solutions cannot adequately address. Each educational level faces distinct communication challenges that require specialized approaches while maintaining the conversational intelligence that eliminates traditional website barriers.

ABOUT GPT AI CORPORATION, INC.

GPT AI Corporation, Inc. specializes in developing conversational AI platforms designed for specific industry sectors. The company operates multiple vertical-specific solutions including EdGPT.ai for educational institutions, LawFirmGPT.ai for legal services, CPAFirm.ai for accounting practices, TaxPrepGPT.ai for tax preparation services, BusinessBrokerGPT.ai for business transaction facilitation, and GPTsites.ai for general business applications.

LearnWise AI Launches an AI Feedback and Grading Solution to Help Faculty Provide Higher-Quality, Ethical Feedback at Scale to Students

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, July 30, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Amsterdam-based education technology scaleup LearnWise AI, an AI platform for enhancing the student experience, has released an innovative AI solution to transform the way educators provide feedback and grades to students.

Image caption: Screenshot of the LearnWise AI Assessment & Grader interface showing in-LMS grading with personalized AI feedback options, including tone adjustment and rubric-based scoring for originality and accuracy.

At many large institutions, feedback is often delayed and grading lacks consistency, leaving educators overwhelmed by the time-consuming process of evaluating long-form assessments. LearnWise addresses this persistent challenge by equipping faculty with an AI assistant that generates high-quality, actionable feedback and suggested grades for each rubric criteria. Seamlessly integrated into the educator’s existing grading workflow, LearnWise works within leading Learning Management Systems including Brightspace by D2L, Canvas by Instructure, and Moodle, enabling instructors to save time without compromising on quality or rigor.

Greg Marschall, CEO at LearnWise shares, “We know that when an educator grades 50 assignments in a row, the feedback quality at number 50 often doesn’t match the quality given at number one. Our solution helps educators maintain control and use their own voice, while significantly raising the bar on equitable, consistent feedback. It’s about giving faculty an ethical AI assistant that respects their workflow, ensuring every student receives quality feedback without overwhelming educators.”

PURPOSE-BUILT AI FEEDBACK FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

The new AI Feedback & Grader prioritizes institution-specific and course-specific content, aligning feedback precisely with institutional policies, rubrics, and resources. Unlike generic AI tools, LearnWise’s solution is context-aware, referencing exact course content so students can directly understand and act upon the feedback provided. Its advanced feedback pipeline and fine-tuned grading model are grounded in course materials rather than relying solely on general language models.

Early pilot outcomes from a double-blind educator-led study at a 40,000-student institution showed that educators preferred AI-generated feedback to human-generated feedback 84% of the time, highlighting the depth, detail, and ethical rigor built into LearnWise’s solution. In collaboration with a global English-speaking institution, LearnWise is designing an AI-supported learning ecosystem, empowering adult learners through personalized, direct assessments and transparent feedback, with instructors firmly at the center.

The AI solution meets educators directly in their existing workflow, allowing them to easily adjust, approve, or regenerate feedback within their familiar LMS grading environment. By automating repetitive elements of grading, educators can dedicate more time to personalized, motivating, and inspiring student support.

Faster feedback directly benefits students by enabling timely improvements, creating a consistent, fair grading baseline, and allowing faculty to focus their attention on deeper educational support.

DEEPER, FASTER, SEAMLESS GRADING WITHIN YOUR LMS

LearnWise’s advanced reasoning models and customizable grading framework ensure assessments consistently meet high academic standards. The solution integrates seamlessly into LMS grading workflows, allowing educators to generate and finalize feedback and grades directly within Brightspace by D2L, Canvas SpeedGrader and Moodle.

HUMAN-LED, AI-ENHANCED FEEDBACK

The AI Feedback & Grader analyzes instructor notes and annotations to generate effective, rubric-based feedback and grades on written and video assignments. LearnWise helps instructors enhance their feedback for any rubric criteria for tone, depth, and any other custom instructions. Faculty remain in the driver’s seat as they can style and add topics to be included in their feedback, ensuring their input is always reflected accurately. In this way, instructors retain full control, with the option to review, approve, or edit feedback and grades before submission.

Edupoint Wins ‘Education Administration Solution of the Year’ in 6th Annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards Program

MESA, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy® Education Platform for K-12 student information and learning management, today announced that its Synergy Student Information System (SIS) has been selected as winner of the "Education Administration Solution of the Year" award in the 6th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

Synergy SIS is the core module in Synergy Education Platform, a comprehensive student data management ecosystem that combines student information management, MTSS, assessment, analytics, special education, and more in one seamless platform that includes a powerful suite of native, role-based mobile apps. Built from the ground up on a single database, Synergy provides districts with real-time data systemwide to simplify administration, unlock unprecedented insights, and facilitate communication at all levels.

The platform's seamless-by-design approach gives educators a powerful edge in seeing and responding to the whole student. Dashboards and reports can combine data from different domains providing transparency into performance trends, consistency of instruction, curriculum effectiveness, professional development needs, equity concerns, resource use, and more. Teachers have gradebook access to a 360° student profile alongside MTSS information, up-to-date IEPs, and 504 accommodations. Parents receive portal updates on assignment and assessment scores, MTSS plan progress, progress toward IEP goals, and more. Multi-step processes move smoothly and continuously, with stakeholders receiving notifications even as workflow steps cross from one module to another. As a result, districts can respond in a timely and targeted manner to identified student needs, with continuity of support from the classroom to MTSS plans to special education referral and services.

Likewise, the Synergy ecosystem is intuitive to use, with one password and place to access all data and tools, flexible navigation, easy personalization for users, and fast, accurate search. Synergy Mail with automatic translation and multi-language support for the ParentVUE® portal make communication inclusive for families. Synergy integrates with virtually any third-party application, including Ed-Fi, OneRoster®, and Google for Education(tm) productivity applications.

"Districts relying on student data management solutions that don't inherently talk to each other have to move and sync data on an ongoing basis, which can not only cause data accuracy issues, but can also impede educators' ability to accurately identify student needs and respond in real time," said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, EdTech Breakthrough.

Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland Selects Synergy Education Platform

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems today announced that Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Education Platform for its K-12 student information and learning management needs. The district's solution will include Synergy Student Information System (SIS), Synergy Online Registration, Synergy MTSS, and Synergy Analytics, to be hosted in the Synergy AWS Cloud environment. PGCPS is one of the 20 largest school districts in the country, serving over 128,000 students across 206 schools in Maryland's Capital Region adjacent to Washington, D.C.

PGCPS set out to find a modern, intuitive SIS to replace its current 15-year-old system. After researching the marketplace and speaking with peers in nearby districts, the team at PGCPS selected three products to evaluate in depth. First, the IT team investigated all three solutions to ensure they met requirements around core functionality. Next, a cross-functional stakeholder group - consisting of more than 60 parents, students, teachers, secretaries, principals, IT staff, and other central office department leaders - attended a "demo day" and rated the products on user-friendliness of the interface, mobile responsiveness, system accessibility and scalability, software customization, integration with other systems, and communication. In the final round, schedulers from five middle and high schools, along with 23 staff from the district's accountability, academics, and student services teams undertook a deeper exploration of system functionality around scheduling, data analysis, and reporting. After emerging as a demo-day favorite, Synergy Education Platform clinched the top spot in the final round.

Synergy Education Platform is a comprehensive ecosystem that combines student information management, MTSS, analytics, special education, and more in one seamless platform that includes a powerful suite of native, role-based mobile apps. With Synergy, PGCPS will get a state-of-the-art platform capable of meeting the varied needs of the district's broad user base while keeping pace with advancements and innovations within the district and in K-12 public education more generally. Synergy includes powerful tools that facilitate convenient communication districtwide, including between schools and with parents and students. The MTSS module will allow teachers and interventionists to access all student data in one place, eliminating the need to log into an additional system to access SIS data.

"Synergy consistently ranked very high on customer service and product support based on feedback from our colleagues in benchmarked districts," said Andrew Zuckerman, EdD, Chief Information and Technology Officer at PGCPS. "And throughout the evaluation process, Synergy consistently earned the highest marks from our stakeholder evaluators."

"Our audience was impressed with Synergy and the Edupoint team," said Jinghong Gao, Director of Technology Applications-Student Support at the district. "The flexibility the system can provide us with its configurability and workflow definition features really stood out in the demonstrations. We are enthusiastic about the potential for building processes to support our needs in Synergy rather than having to rely on third-party systems. The two-way communication capabilities between schools and with parents and students were also exciting to see and will fill a gap we have in our current system."

"Prince Georges County Public Schools needed a modern student data management system to replace its legacy system and open up new possibilities for efficiencies and enhancements," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "Synergy Education Platform, with its seamlessly integrated, comprehensive functionality, is perfectly positioned to support the amazing PGCPS team in this regard. We are thrilled to partner with the district to upgrade the technical toolset available to the talented team there in order to meet the varied needs of all stakeholders."

Edupoint Selects Wyoming Public Schools in Michigan for its 8th Annual Partner for Life Award

MESA, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy® Education Platform for K-12 student information and learning management, today announced that Wyoming Public Schools (WPS) has been selected as the recipient of the company's eighth annual Partner for Life Award. Edupoint Founder and CEO Bob Weathers presented the award to Deb Sellers, Data/Training Specialist for WPS, on Nov. 2 at the 2023 Synergy Connect Users Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Located near Grand Rapids, Michigan, Wyoming Public Schools began using Synergy in 2011 to support the district's 4,000 students and staff across nine buildings. Over the years, Wyoming's use of Synergy has evolved to include hosting and mentoring to four neighboring school districts, supporting a combined population of more than 12,000 students.

WPS and the districts it supports elected to adopt Synergy as their common student information system in order to better collaborate across districts as well as with Edupoint. The Wyoming technology department takes a leading role in supporting all aspects of that collaboration, coordinating the rollout of new releases, recruiting users to pilot new features, taking feedback from end users, and communicating those feedback points to Edupoint.

"My passion is making everyone's lives a little easier," said Sellers. "You really have to listen to what people's needs are and how to help them. The more success our teachers have with the technology that we provide for them, the more successful our students will be."

"Over the years, the Edupoint team has had the pleasure of seeing Wyoming Public Schools leverage the Synergy platform's functionality, and in particular its customization and automation capabilities, to maximize what the district can do despite the small size of its technology team," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "The Wyoming team consistently approach new product features and solutions with enthusiasm and a mindset for innovation, and have been outstanding partners to Edupoint for more than a decade. I am delighted to recognize Wyoming as this year's Partner for Life Award recipient."

Edupoint has awarded $10,000 to Wyoming Public Schools to be granted as a student scholarship.

Bethlehem Area School District (Pennsylvania) Selects Synergy Education Platform

BETHLEHEM, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems announced today that Bethlehem Area School District (BASD) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Student Education Platform for its K-12 student data management needs. The district's solution will include Synergy Student Information System, Synergy Online Registration, Synergy MTSS, and Synergy Special Education, and will be hosted in the Synergy AWS Cloud environment. BASD serves over 13,300 students across 22 schools in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania.

Bethlehem district leadership assembled a team to explore current industry offerings and evaluate their ability to offer improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. Over a period of six months, 67 participants representing a wide variety of roles at all levels of the organization - including secretaries, teachers, principals, assistant principals, and applications specialists, in addition to the district technology team - contributed feedback on the solutions under consideration. After extensive evaluation, including hosting week-long software demonstrations with three finalists, the team selected Synergy based on a number of key factors, including the following:

* Integrated student information, special education, and MTSS management

* Streamlining of special education and MTSS processes

* Robust query, reporting, and decision support tools

* Timely, reliable data

* Federal and state reporting capabilities

* An established and growing presence in Pennsylvania

The district also sought a vendor with a long-term commitment to building and supporting its solutions in-house - a criterion that only Edupoint was able to meet.

"We didn't want multiple separate systems," said Marie Bachman, Chief Technology Officer at BASD. "We wanted to give our teachers an improved user experience, greater access to students' special education information, and a better system for MTSS - all of which will enhance their ability to support students. Teachers are excited about these modules, which work together and are built right into the interface that they will already be using for everyday tasks."

"With Synergy, Bethlehem Area School District is getting a student data management system that will aid in eliminating unnecessary data-entry and integration busywork so stakeholders can focus their time on higher priorities, including supporting students and improving learning outcomes," said Rob Wilson, Edupoint's President and Chief Innovation Officer. "The seamless integration built into Synergy Education Platform will make a significant contribution, as well, to the district's efforts to improve data governance. We are pleased to welcome BASD aboard as an Edupoint partner."

Cole Engineering Services, Inc., Awarded $500M Simulator Production OTA

ORLANDO, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Cole Engineering Services, Inc. (CESI), a By Light Company, has been awarded the $500M Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT) Production Other Transaction Authority (OTA) award. The program originated in June 2019 with initial concept demonstrations, followed by a formal prototyping phase that included soldier evaluation to refine the fidelity and capability of the initial 19 Army ground and air platforms. The rapid fielding production phase of the RVCT program will begin deployment of the reconfigurable platforms at 14 sites over the next three to five years.

The RVCT includes aviation platforms (RVCT-A), ground platforms (RVCT-G), dismounted infantry collective maneuver training, collective gunnery training, and mission rehearsal capability. The RVCT is a mobile, transportable, modular, and scalable training capability with the minimum hardware necessary to represent form, fit, and function for Soldiers to execute collective tasks. RVCT is the first major production effort being fielded out of the Army's Synthetic Training Environment (STE) modernization priority.

"Team CESI continues to take great pride in developing and delivering systems that are easy for our Soldiers to use, and RVCT has been a tremendous example of working collaboratively with our stakeholders," said Devin Lyders, CESI Senior Vice President, Advanced Training Systems. "We place the Soldier at the center of modernization by conducting multiple formal Soldier Touch Points and more than 100 informal feedback sessions with the direct platform experts, enabling us to find the sweet spot of fidelity with virtualization, form/fit/function, and training realism."

Team CESI's RVCT solution is built upon a modular hardware architecture, which allows RVCT to replicate U.S. Army ground and air vehicles through common configuration items. The combination of high-fidelity physical and virtual control interfaces utilizes real-world system hardware and immerses the Soldier via Virtual and Augmented Reality through the Synthetic Training Environment-Information System (STE-IS) software.

"The collective efforts of RVCT stakeholders over the past few years to continue iteratively improving the platforms has been nothing less than a true collaboration success story," said Eric Carr, CESI's Program Director. "Thanks to the combined agile efforts of the Government, our industry partners, and the CESI/By Light team, we are able to deliver next-generation immersive virtual training platforms that replicate platform fidelity while delivering realistic collective unit training and mission rehearsal that simulates the complex challenges of the future operational environment."

Production of the RVCT systems is taking place at By Light's 125,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Port Orange, FL. Team CESI consists of a robust group of subcontractors and suppliers comprised of nearly 150 teammates and partners who will support the fabrication, integration, and deployment of the RVCT systems.

"Our entire Team is honored to be chosen to field this critical mission-training capability for the United States Army," said Bob Donahue, Founder and CEO of By Light, "and we look forward to continuing to support the achievement of the Army's vision for the greater Synthetic Training Environment."

About CESI:

Cole Engineering Services, Inc. (CESI), a By Light Company, is a premier provider of modeling and simulation (M&S) training solutions. Since 2004, CESI has been at the forefront of developing, maintaining, and integrating simulation-based training, serious gaming, technical services, training, and other support in live, virtual, constructive, and gaming (LVCG) domains.

Pleasanton Unified School District (CA) Selects Synergy SIS

PLEASANTON, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems announced today that Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Student Information System (SIS) to replace its current system from Aequitas for its K-12 student data management needs. The district's Synergy solution will include Synergy SIS and Synergy Online Registration hosted on Edupoint's AWS Cloud Hosting platform. PUSD is located in the greater San Francisco Bay area, where it serves over 14,000 students.

Pleasanton Unified School District needed to replace its SIS with a modern system providing comprehensive functionality, ease of use, and the security benefits that come with world-class cloud hosting. The district took advantage of California's Ed Tech Joint Powers Authority consortium purchasing agreement to accelerate the selection process, inviting 10 focus groups - comprised of teachers, principals, and classified staff from across the district - to participate in the selection process from needs assessment through scoring, product demos, and reference checks. PUSD selected Synergy SIS based on the product's functional capabilities, the company's strengths as a vendor partner, and local references.

Synergy SIS is a comprehensive student information management system that goes beyond the boundaries of a traditional SIS, providing the real-time student data that educators need to improve learning outcomes for students while helping districts streamline processes, increase collaboration, and advance equity. As the foundation of the Synergy Education Platform ecosystem, Synergy SIS makes it easy for districts to extend capabilities as needs change, with seamlessly integrated modules for online registration, learning management, MTSS, assessment, special education management, and analytics, as well as a powerful suite of native, role-based mobile apps.

"The district was looking for a modern and robust database system for the long haul," said Robert Torres, Chief Technology Officer at PUSD. "Simply put, the Synergy platform fit the bill. During the vetting process our district found a partner committed to ensuring the success of the project and beyond."

"With Synergy, Pleasanton Unified School District is getting a robust and secure student data management solution that offers not only all of the latest bells and whistles, but also the ease of use and time savings that provide significant everyday value for users," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "We are pleased to be partnering with PUSD in its modernization journey and supporting the district in its mission of preparing students to 'make a better world.'"

Edupoint Selects Gwinnett County Public Schools for 7th Annual Partner for Life Award

MESA, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy® Education Platform for K-12 student information and learning management, is pleased to announce that Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has been selected as the recipient of the company's seventh annual Partner for Life Award. Edupoint Founder and CEO Bob Weathers presented the award to Debbie Durrence, Ed.D., Executive Director for GCPS's Department of Data Governance, at the 2022 Synergy Connect Users Conference last month at the Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee.

Gwinnett County Public Schools is one of the largest school districts in the country, serving a diverse population of approximately 181,000 students across 144 schools in 20 geographic "clusters." The district has nearly doubled in size since 2010, while retaining its collaborative, student-centered culture through the prioritization of teachers and staff support for teachers.

The relationship between Edupoint and GCPS has been one of mutual trust and partnership from the beginning. Gwinnett licensed the full suite of Synergy Education Platform modules in 2014, becoming the first Edupoint client to launch the Synergy Online Registration module before going live with Synergy Student Information System. The district was also an early adopter of Synergy MTSS and the first in Georgia to use Synergy Special Education.

"As we've been able to work with different Edupoint staff and engage in collaborative partnerships around projects, we've become not just a vendor and a school district, but true partners in every sense of the word," said Durrence. "We know that we can come to the table to solution together what will best meet the needs of our students, staff, and families."

"From the start, we have had a unique relationship with Gwinnett County Public Schools," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "Since the very beginning with the rollout of Synergy Online Registration they have always been interested in maximizing the use of technology to improve processes and better serve their constituents. Working closely together, we have developed a strong mutual trust and respect for each other, and this has helped lay the foundation for the steadfast partnership we have today. I am pleased to recognize Gwinnett County Public Schools as this year's Partner for Life Award recipient."

Edupoint has awarded $10,000 to Gwinnett County Public Schools to be granted as a student scholarship.

Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 (Illinois) Selects Synergy Student Information System

LAKE ZURICH, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems announced today that Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 (LZCUSD) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Student Information System (SIS) for its student data management needs. The district's solution will include Synergy SIS and Synergy Online Registration, hosted in the Synergy Cloud environment. LZCUSD serves over 5,500 students across eight schools northwest of Chicago.

Lake Zurich leadership began looking for a new SIS after determining that the district's technology plan for the next decade would require moving to a more flexible, forward-thinking system. They launched a thorough and inclusive multi-step process that involved nurses, teachers, principals, secretaries, parents, and students from the requirements gathering stage. After online and in-person demonstrations of three finalist systems, the core team selected Synergy SIS for its flexibility, forward-thinking design, and wide-ranging functionality.

Synergy SIS balances ease of use with a degree of control that is unmatched in the marketplace. Synergy provides schools and districts with exceptional data access and reporting capabilities, powerful tools for streamlining and automating processes, extensive customization options, and best-in-class data security. The built-in TeacherVUE® Portal With Gradebook gives teachers a single place to access attendance and seating charts, a 360° profile of every student, and tools for analyzing student progress and standards proficiency. The ParentVUE® and StudentVUE® portals provide families with unprecedented access to grades, assignments, progress indicators, and teacher communication. Role-based mobile apps offer convenience for teachers, administrators, special education teams, counselors, health staff, parents, and students.

"We felt like we were picking the best of the best," said Phillip Howard, Executive Director of Technology at Lake Zurich. "It met 913 of our 915 functional requirements. That's pretty great. The mobile-first posture was really compelling. So was the ability to directly access the database. We liked that Synergy would allow us to customize every screen to our heart's content despite being a full-featured product off-the-shelf. The user interface was thoughtfully laid out and scored high for ease of use. Plus, it's a one-stop shop - we didn't have to buy a bunch of add-ons or systems that would need support from a third party."

As part of the seamless Synergy Education Platform ecosystem, Synergy SIS enables schools and districts to easily extend functionality to include online registration, MTSS, assessment, analytics, learning management, and special education management in a single platform.

"Lake Zurich CUSD's search for a new student information system was about more than just software," said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. "It was about finding the right partnership to take the district into the future. At Edupoint we work hard to be that partner and were pleased that the evaluation team saw the evidence in our product. We look forward to supporting the district in achieving its goals and fulfilling its mission to 'empower every learner to achieve personal excellence.'"

Education reEnvisioned BOCES (Colorado) Selects Synergy Student Information System

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint® Educational Systems announced today that Education reEnvisioned BOCES has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Student Information System (SIS) for its own student data management needs as well as those of its member schools. The BOCES represents 12 schools serving 5,000 students.

Education reEnvisioned offers choice to Colorado families, authorizing and overseeing brick-and-mortar schools, online schools, and homeschool enrichment programs. The BOCES is driven by a belief in the importance of providing varied options to meet the diverse and unique needs of children and is the largest authorizer of online schools in the state. Member schools include multi-district online schools, brick-and-mortar schools, microschools, and homeschool enrichment programs that include areas such as music, art, and canyoneering.

Synergy SIS provides schools and districts with powerful tools for streamlining and automating processes, exceptional data access and reporting capabilities, extensive customization options, and best-in-class data security. The built-in TeacherVUE® Portal With Gradebook gives teachers a single place to access attendance and seating charts, a 360-degree profile of every student, assignments and grading, and built-in data analysis tools that facilitate tracking student progress, differentiating instruction, and responding quickly to students who require extra support.

The gradebook integrates with in-demand classroom tools such as Google for Education™ apps - including Google Classroom™ - and over 400 LTI learning apps. The ParentVUE® and StudentVUE® portals give parents and students unprecedented web and mobile access to grades, assignments, and communication with teachers.

Education reEnvisioned leadership began looking for a SIS after rapidly increasing enrollment challenged the cooperative's manual state reporting process.

"We needed a system that would enable us to seamlessly meet Colorado state reporting requirements," said Dan Snowberger, Director of Education Operations at Education reEnvisioned, "but we also have 12 schools with very different needs that will be using Synergy for student data management. We're not an organization that feels like everyone has to do exactly the same thing, so the platform's flexibility was key for us. We needed a solution that was fiscally responsible as well, and Synergy was affordable. Plus, Edupoint has an amazing team, which was a major factor in helping us decide."

As part of the seamless Synergy Education Platform ecosystem, Synergy SIS enables schools and districts to easily extend functionality to include online registration, MTSS, assessment, analytics, learning management, and special education management in a single platform that also features a unique suite of native, role-based mobile apps.

"With Synergy SIS, Education reEnvisioned BOCES is getting an extremely powerful and flexible student data management solution designed to support everyday needs and navigate both anticipated and unanticipated changes in the education landscape," said Bob Weathers, Founder and CEO at Edupoint. "We're pleased to welcome the BOCES to the Synergy family and look forward to working together to support the diverse needs of Colorado students."

Midland Public Schools (Michigan) Selects Synergy Education Platform

MIDLAND, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Edupoint Educational Systems announced today that Midland Public Schools (MPS) has selected the company's industry-leading Synergy® Student Education Platform for its K-12 student information and learning management needs. The district's Synergy solution will include Synergy Student Information System (SIS), Synergy Online Registration, Synergy MTSS, and Synergy Special Education (SE). MPS serves nearly 7,500 students at 12 schools in Central Michigan and will be supported by Edupoint business partner Computer Management Technologies (CMT).

Midland leadership began looking for a new student information system (SIS) when the SIS the district had used for nearly 20 years could no longer meet critical needs. The district assembled an inclusive evaluation team ranging from district administrators to classroom teachers and special services staff, with cohorts led by subject matter experts from all major functional areas. Following a rigorous, months-long review of four student information systems, MPS selected Synergy Education Platform.

Synergy Education Platform is a comprehensive student data management ecosystem that provides the real-time performance data educators need to improve learning outcomes for students while also helping districts streamline processes, improve communication, and increase collaboration. Synergy provides student information management, online registration, learning management, assessment, MTSS, special education, and analytics in one seamless platform that includes a powerful suite of native, role-based mobile apps.

"We were looking for ease of use and a great customer experience for our staff," said David Dziedzic, Director of Technology at MPS. "We conducted quite a few reference checks, and I can't tell you how many of the Edupoint customers absolutely glow about Edupoint and the Synergy product. There are a lot of features and efficiencies in Synergy that are going to help our district. We're looking forward to giving data owners control over building their own workflows for their departments, simplifying the way we manage data in co-teaching situations, and offering online registration to our families for the first time when we roll out this summer."

"By selecting Synergy Education Platform and Edupoint, Midland Public Schools is not only getting a powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use student data management solution, but also a true partner for the long term," said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint. "We have a saying here at Edupoint - 'Customer First, Always' - but when our client districts echo that sentiment among one another you know it really means something. We are pleased to welcome MPS as part of the Synergy family and look forward to supporting the district's commitment to providing equitable learning opportunities to meet the needs of all students."
