            Student Databases Within The Anoka-Hennepin School District #11.
             The Anoka-Hennepin School District consists of over fifty schools. They have a tradition of excellence built upon a firm foundation with well-developed educational programs and supportive communities. The district strives to provide students with a comprehensive education that enriches their lives and prepares them for their future. Technology plays a big role in preparing students for the future. Dramatic changes in the workplace and in the role technology plays in our lives make it essential that students become competent in using a range of technology in a variety of settings. Teachers are the key to developing technology literacy in students. Therefore, they must have access to up-to-date technology and the appropriate training and technical support to take advantage of it. Technology is equally important to administrative and support staff in the school district. The use of technology links district personnel to each other and to information they need to carry out their work efficiently and effectively.
             The student database system in place prior to 1999 was a program called Osiris. There were quite a few problems with this system. It was not compatible with Macintosh computers and does not do in-house scheduling or create fast reports. The system also had many security issues that were consistently creating problems for its users. As the district expanded the Osiris program was not able to track enough data to support the incoming information. Lastly and one of the biggest problems was that the system wasn't able to integrate with other systems.
             In 1999, the school district integrated a new student database program called SASIxp. This program has solved all of the problems that Osiris had but unfortunately has created some new problems as well. SASIxp is still a work in progress and the district is still trying to workout some of the kinks.
