As school data experts of 45+ years, we see this scenario a lot: Front office admins approaching burnout from trying to navigate data regulations, errors, and deadlines, in order to secure funding. Backed by jmc’s student information system (SIS) and partnership, you’ll never have to manage school data alone again.
Let’s uncover what that looks like:
Throughout the year jmc’s in-house data experts work closely with our developers to ensure that your jmc software complies with the state’s stringent data requirements, as part of a certification process. Once certified, we immediately notify you for a headstart on preparing data submissions with help from our team.
jmc’s State Reporting module allows you to submit data directly to the state from the comfort of your jmc software. From Ed-Fi to SIF (that’s Schools Interoperability Framework for short), jmc supports all data standards. The best part: You won’t pay extra for this must-have module as it comes standard with all jmc plans.
When you partner with jmc, you gain access to data reporting experts, many of whom have worked as officials for and have connections with the Department of Education. Whether it’s help with prepping data or decoding government jargon, we can provide the support you need to ensure submissions go off without a glitch.
jmc can identify data errors and generate error reports for you with clear instructions on how to fix the issue ahead of submissions. Most of the time the report is enough to understand and resolve the error on your own ensuring that it doesn’t happen again. If you do end up needing help, jmc’s in-house tech support team has a stellar track record of replying in under 24 hours.
The jmc Training team hosts free webinars every month, breaking down the latest data regulations to set you up for success. Clients especially love the sessions where they get to work through data errors with the Department of Education. These trainings are live on YouTube for easy access. jmc clients can also request their own 1:1 virtual state reporting work session with one of our experts.
All jmc clients have an in-app Help Center at their disposal, complete with 100+ articles on all things state reporting, from collecting digital equity data to ensuring proper student tallies. Every article is developed in tandem with our data experts, turning government-speak into ‘Ah, that’s what that means.’
Not all providers of student information systems (again, SIS for short) include state data reporting support, which is concerning when you look at the definition of SIS: ‘Software that helps schools manage student data and perform administrative tasks.’
At jmc, we go above and beyond that definition to inform and empower, helping you lock in the funding that your district needs to thrive. Watch this video to learn a few more benefits of having jmc state reporting support by your side.
