FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn., May 3, 2017 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Edupoint\u00ae Educational Systems, creator of the industry-leading Synergy\u00ae Education Platform for K-12 student information and learning management, has been selected by Minnesota\u2019s Forest Lake Area Schools and Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools to implement the company\u2019s Synergy Student Information System, bringing the total number of Minnesota students supported by Synergy to more than 210,000.<\/p>\n

\"Edupoint
\nRosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools is the state\u2019s fourth largest district, with more than 27,000 PreK-12 students. Forest Lake Area Schools serves over 6,000 students from 12 communities. Located in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, both districts are members of the state\u2019s Technology and Information Educational Services (TIES), a technology solution collaborative owned by 48 member districts, serving more than 400 schools and about 40 percent of Minnesota\u2019s students. In 2015, TIES became Edupoint\u2019s second certified marketing and technology and support partner for the State of Minnesota, joining long-time Synergy business partner Region 1, based in Moorhead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were using the TIES student information system that is now sunsetting,\u201d said Tim Brockman, Supervisor of Information Systems for Forest Lake Area Schools. \u201cWhen TIES chose Synergy as the replacement system, we decided to do our own analysis to be sure we agreed with that selection. We compared Synergy to two other major student information systems, Infinite Campus and Skyward, and our committee selected Synergy as the best of the three solutions. We also liked the fact that Edupoint was partnered with TIES, which provides excellent benefits to its member districts. We enjoy working with TIES and appreciated the fact that we would continue to get support from the consortium.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a key technology source for its member districts, TIES provides software systems, professional development, technology integration training for teachers, transportation outsourcing, technical consulting, hardware and software support, and ISP services.<\/p>\n

\u201cSynergy\u2019s growth in Minnesota reflects the need of K-12 districts for an education platform that provides a modern user interface and addresses both student information and learning management needs, built on a single, centralized database that eliminates the frustration of integration issues,\u201d says Rob Wilson, Edupoint\u2019s President and Chief Innovation Officer. \u201cWe are pleased with Edupoint\u2019s momentum in Minnesota and look forward to continuing our successful partnerships with TIES and Region 1 and to further expansion throughout the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
