Tyler Technologies Wins Contract to Provide Education Management Solution to Albemarle County Public Schools in Virginia

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL - News) announced today that, after being selected from other companies through a competitive procurement process, it has reached an agreement to provide its Education Management solution to the Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) in Charlottesville, Virginia. ACPS will implement a full suite of Tyler’s school information software, as well as corresponding professional services, maintenance and support.

Tyler’s Education Management solution is a fully integrated system built on the Microsoft .NET platform. It is a highly flexible solution offering rich reporting capabilities and education-specific applications that respond to the unique needs of school districts. Designed for the K – 12 market, the scalable solution facilitates the tracking and reporting of information and also meets the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act and Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF).

Tyler’s Web-based applications provide school administrators, teachers, parents and students with convenient access to information. From its Attendance and Grade Book applications to Scheduling and Testing & Assessment, the solution creates a highly effective system through which school districts can manage essential data.

Dennis Nissley, coordinator for student databases for ACPS, explained that the District was looking for a system that could meet its current needs, as well as respond to its future needs and goals. “Albemarle County Public Schools sought a parent/teacher portal with secure access to real-time student data via the Internet. We also wanted a centralized database with multi-year reporting and analysis capabilities, as well as an integrated grade book for Windows-based and Macintosh-based systems. Our current system doesn’t offer these features or flexibility, which is why we decided to purchase Tyler’s Education Management solution,” he said.

Nissley stated that it was also important that ACPS choose a school information system that is SIF certified and would integrate with the Virginia Department of Education’s Electronic Information Management System. He also noted that ACPS required comprehensive attendance, grading and scheduling capabilities. The ability to customize data entry screens and develop new screens was also a key function for the District.

According to John S. Marr, Jr., president and CEO of Tyler Technologies, ACPS joins a growing number of school districts that have chosen Tyler for its Education Management solution. “Tyler’s Education Management software offers a complete solution for districts such as Albemarle County Public Schools. The system’s impressive functionality and versatile technology make it a perfect fit for K – 12 schools of any size. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with the school system,” he said.

Albemarle County Public Schools educates approximately 12,750 students from pre-Kindergarten through grade 12 at 26 schools. The county is home to more than 90,000 residents and is located approximately 100 miles southwest of Washington, D.C.
