What LSIM is
LSIM is a web application for managing student records linked to Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Student Learning Plans (SLPs). Learning Support Coordinators, teachers, and Educational Assistants can view or enter plan information. IEP records can include goals, objectives, strategies, evaluation criteria, daily progress levels, and logs. SLP records cover campus-specific plan details and activity logs for students who need assistance, and schools can customize items such as adaptations and assessments by campus. Reports include IEPs, SLPs, monthly progress, term reports, and activity logs. LSIM connects with Active Directory for access control and single sign-on, and supports periodic, read-only updates from a school's master student database; a PowerSchool solution is already in place. Communications are encrypted, and access is limited by student assignment and role permissions. The web service supports major browsers. Schools need Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or higher and Microsoft IIS 8.5 or higher on Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher. Pricing is available on request.
