My county experience with SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION was an unforgettable experience.

SEIS
The Special Education Information System (SEIS) was initially created by CEDR and the San Joaquin SELPA, to make IEPs easier for teachers to complete and track. Gradually, additional functions were added, including an MIS (CASEMIS) utility, the SEACO, BASICS, CSHA, ROPES, AuSpLan, and ACSA/CARS+ standards-based goals bank, and report generator utilities, and DRDP data collection and reporting among others.
Since its launch in 2003, SEIS has proven to be an effective tool for both teachers and administrators here in San Joaquin County and around the state. 46 SELPA’s and over 700 school districts across the state have elected to go with SEIS (San Joaquin, Calaveras, Amador, Tulare, Kings County, Siskiyou, Modoc, Trinity, Lassen, Tehama, Glenn, El Dorado, Alameda, Tahoe-Alpine, San Luis Obispo, Santa Clarita Valley, Southwest, Irvine, Tustin, Imperial, Merced, West Orange, San Mateo, Stanislaus, Lodi, Garden Grove, Tri-City, North Orange, West End, Napa, North Region, Nevada, South Orange, Orange USD, Santa Ana, North-East Orange, Placer, Inyo, Mono, Fresno USD, Clovis USD, Solano, and North Santa Cruz), and our team is in discussions with another half dozen SELPA’s.
SELPAs are finding a broad range of reasons for selecting SEIS...
- Accessible via the Internet, so teachers can use it from school, home, or wherever is convenient for them…no special software required!
- SEIS completely automates the preparation of CASEMIS data (San Joaquin SELPA was 1st in the state to submit their first June CASEMIS report using SEIS).
- IEPs are more easily revised, are clearer and easier to read. Redundant information need only be entered once, decreasing preparation time; and pull-down menus, check boxes and radio buttons populated with valid choices increase data integrity.
- There is an easily-accessible and IEP-linked library of goals and objectives (benchmarks). Standards-based essential goals from CSHA, ROPES, AuSpLan, ACSA /CARS+, and for students with moderate to severe disabilities; The BASICS Goals as well as the SEACO collection of functional skill goals and objectives aligned to standards-based core curriculum.
- Teachers have a choice of selecting from SEACO, BASICS, CSHA, ROPES, AuSpLan, and ACSA/CARS+ library, creating their own unique goals and objectives, or accessing goals and objectives created by other special education staff within the SELPA or across the state.
- Demographic, services, and IEP information follows the student from teacher to teacher, site to site, district to district, and SELPA to SELPA within participating SELPA’s using the SEIS system. Transferability is instantaneous allowing quick access to IEP and services history, ensuring continuity of the educational plans for students.
