DALLAS, June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL - News) announced today that it has signed contracts to provide the Tyler Education Management Solution (TEMS) for both the Tucson Unified School District of Tucson, Arizona (Tucson), and the Russell County Public Schools of Lebanon, Virginia (Russell).

Both Tucson and Russell are forerunners in their respective states, representing the first school organizations in Virginia and Arizona to adopt the Tyler Education Management Solution. TEMS is a versatile, dynamic system providing a full suite of school information programs and reports to K-12 schools. TEMS includes education-specific applications such as Grade Book, Scheduling, Staff Management, Reporting, Attendance, Discipline, Transportation, as well as a Web-based Parent Portal. TEMS is Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) certified, and compliant with No Child Left Behind and Qualified Teacher programs. It is rapidly gaining market recognition for its powerful applications and integration capabilities, including integration with Tyler's MUNIS Financial Management Solution. The SIF designation enables TEMS applications to be used with other software programs, facilitating seamless data sharing.

According to Janie G. Overbay, Russell's Database Coordinator, "The Russell County Public School system is delighted to be the first school system in the state of Virginia to fully implement the Tyler Education Management Solution. This is a state-of-the-art student information management system that will allow us to integrate more easily the various operations of the school program. This real-time, Web-based system will move our schools into the twenty-first century in terms of information management, storage, retrieval and disaggregation. TEMS will save our personnel many hours of time because of its enhanced capabilities, and the ease with which our people can be trained with its user-friendly interface."

Tyler's ongoing commitment to provide full-service, integrated solutions to all of its clients is supported by deep expertise in the operations of both education and local government. Providing complete services to clients, from implementation, consulting and conversion to programming and support, Tyler facilitates the system transition and ensures minimal disruption.

Ms. Overbay added, "The amount of support shown by Tyler has been above and beyond anything we could have expected. We look forward to a smooth long- term relationship with Tyler Technologies."

Lisa Long, Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Technology Integration for the Tucson Unified School District, echoes Russell's enthusiasm. "The Tucson Unified School District looks forward to leading the school systems in the state of Arizona with the first implementation of the Tyler Education Management Solution. The new software will be used to provide electronic scheduling to our middle and high schools. The importance of scheduling, with our students' needs foremost in our minds, is critical to our organization."

Located in southwestern Virginia, the Russell County Public School system serves approximately 4,200 students in pre-kindergarten through the twelfth grade. There are four primary schools, six elementary schools, one middle school, three high schools, an alternative school, and a career and technology center. The service area of the school district is Russell County, with a population of approximately 30,000.

The Tucson Unified School District is the largest school district in Tucson, Arizona's second largest city and the 32nd largest city in the country. Home to nearly 60,000 students, 3,700 teachers, 3,600 support staff and 200 administrators, the district includes more than 100 schools.
