[LM_NET] Destiny and your student information system

[Betsy Kahn <bkahn@PUSD.US>]

We in Pasadena USD have been happy Destiny users for a couple of years now.  Our 
current student information system is Schoolmax, and the integration of data from 
Schoolmax into Destiny has been marginal at best.  Our district is currently 
shopping for a new SIS, and I am wondering if any fellow Destiny users can give 
feedback on how well Destiny has interacted with your system.  Is the basic patron 
information imported accurately and completely?  Can it import class schedule and 
teacher assignment information?  Can it import data such as whether an AUP or photo 
permission is on file for a student?  Does your IT Department have an easy time 
doing frequent patron updates?  Any other pros or cons we might not have thought of?

Please respond off-list, and I will compile any responses in a follow-up post.

Thanks.
