Managing the information flow to and from schools and keeping parents and students up-to-date is a challenge.  Internet technology offers administrators the ability to quickly and easily disseminate information in real time, while maintaining greater control of that information.  Educational materials can easily be distributed from a central repository resulting in better revision control of documents.

Internet technology can reduce administrative costs in these areas:

Class room schedules
Child registration
Class registration
Extracurricular activities
Permission slips
Case management support systems
Decision support
Human resources and benefits
Public, national, and health safety
Compliance reporting
Distance learning or training
