SANTA FE, N.M., Feb. 5, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Edupoint\u00ae Educational Systems today announced that the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) has selected the Synergy Education Platform<\/a>, including Edupoint\u2019s Synergy for States solution, as the state\u2019s first statewide student information system. The initiative marks a major step forward in New Mexico\u2019s efforts to modernize its K\u201312 data infrastructure while improving data access, consistency, and decision-making at both the state and local levels.<\/p>\n

For more than a decade, PED explored the possibility of implementing a single statewide student information system to replace the seven or more disparate systems used across New Mexico. Those fragmented systems made it difficult to share data efficiently, support student transfers, and access timely, accurate information for reporting and analysis. Recent improvements to the state\u2019s data collection processes, combined with new legislative funding, made the transition to a unified, statewide solution possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving to a single statewide student information system is a major step forward for New Mexico,\u201d said Mariana Padilla, cabinet secretary of the New Mexico Public Education Department. \u201cThis initiative allows us to reduce costs, improve data quality, and ensure that districts and educators \u2014 as well as parents and students, who rely on the system to stay informed and engaged \u2014 have equitable access to modern, reliable tools that support teaching, learning, and student success.\u201d<\/p>\n

PED conducted an extensive competitive evaluation process that included statewide stakeholder input, product demonstrations, and in-depth reviews of functionality, usability, value, and cost. The department gathered feedback from internal teams, an external advisory group, and student information system power users from districts and charter schools across the state. Following two rounds of vendor presentations, stakeholders unanimously recommended Synergy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we evaluated statewide solutions, Synergy stood out for its ease of use, strong core functionality \u2014 including support for special services \u2014 and the overall value it delivers to districts,\u201d said Gregory Frostad, assistant secretary of the New Mexico Public Education Department. \u201cEqually important was the Synergy for States analytics framework, which gives both PED and districts access to timely, actionable data to support better decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through Synergy for States, PED and participating local education agencies will have access to SEA- and LEA-level analytics designed to move beyond traditional dashboards. These analytics surface attendance trends and early warnings, graduation readiness indicators, and other key patterns, enabling educators and leaders to identify emerging issues earlier and take informed action to support students.<\/p>\n

Under the statewide model, PED will make the full Synergy platform available to participating local education agencies, including student information management and integrated solutions that support teaching and learning, assessment, analytics, and a multi-layered system of supports. This approach ensures that districts and charter schools of all sizes have equitable access to the same comprehensive set of tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe designed Synergy for States specifically to help state education agencies turn data into action,\u201d said Rob Wilson, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Edupoint Educational Systems. \u201cBy unifying student information, special services, instructional tools, and statewide analytics in a single platform, Synergy enables states and districts to move from compliance-driven reporting to proactive insight \u2014 supporting better outcomes for students at every level of the system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Implementation will begin this summer with an initial cohort of local education agencies representing a significant portion of New Mexico\u2019s student population, including large urban districts as well as rural and charter schools.<\/p>\n
