School District Improves Education by Linking Teachers, Students, Parents Online

Overview The fourth-largest public school district in the United States needed a consistent way to deliver information to more than 1 million students, parents, teachers, and administrators. Miami-Dade County Public Schools built a Web-based portal to give all these constituents a single point of access for relevant information, services, and applications. The district has improved learning potential for children, enhanced parents' ability to participate in the education of their children, and improved the effectiveness and productivity of teachers and school administrators.
