The student information system provider used by Gainesville City Schools has experienced nationwide glitches, causing problems for local schools. “Every district has to have a student information system, because from that ... all grades are submitted to the state,” explained Gainesville’s Director of Academic Programs and Standards Sarah Bell. “(It includes) all student information as far as the courses that they are taking so that they take the appropriate assessments. All of our funding comes from the data that is put in the student information system.”
