Student Records Archive Compliance Solution
Many state Laws require that you keep two (2) copies of all student records.  The Student Records Document Management program (SRDM) from CCR makes this easy and provides additional benefits by organizing and maintaining your daily student-related activities.

SRDM lets you scan or import copies of all your student records, correspondence and relevant documents. Student information can be imported from your existing student information system as often as desired, or you can operate the Student Records Document Management system as a stand-alone solution.

SRDM manages and organizes all your student paperwork, including the archiving and preservation of important documents and student records.  Examples include: 

WinOcular lets you easily organize any paper document that you are required to keep by local, State, Federal or District policy.

Technology Update

Operating System Phase-out
Technology moves at an incredibly fast pace -and keeping up with these advances means that at some point, older Operating Systems no longer meet the requirements of the latest solutions.  To this end, CCR announces obsolescence dates for the the following Operating Systems.  After these dates, CCR can no longer support, service or warrant the functionality of their products when running on the following OS's.

Best Practices in the HR Department

NCLB, "Highly-Qualified" and HR's role in it all
Combined Computer Resources, Inc. is developing a number of tools that will help you manage the huge task of identifying, organizing, managing and reporting on all the Personnel issues related to the No Child Left Behind act of 2001.

By 2005, you will be required to report to Federal and State agencies, as well as parents, the teaching qualifications status of each of your teachers.  (Are they Highly qualified in every subject they teach, how many credentials do your teachers have, status of new training activities, etc.)

CCR is developing tools that will connect to your various data systems, mine the appropriate information, allowing you to add and verify the details, then build reports and letters as necessary.
