Student Recordkeeping
ApplicationXtender provides a single point of secure access to high-quality student and employee data, which is essential for funding and compliance purposes. Authorized personnel can view records within seconds rather than having to search through boxes and filing cabinets. By scanning documents into the system school districts can dispose of original hardcopies, thus saving precious storage space.
National School Lunch Program Enrollment
In order to maintain compliance and receive proper funding, districts are required to log each participant in National SLPs. Failure to do so results in expulsion from the program in the future. This is an expensive and laborious task. AX solves this problem.
With ApplicationXtender, electronic images of each application are created. Important information is automatically extracted that can help determine student eligibility for meal benefits. The images can be searched for and retrieved in seconds, and typical applications can be processed in a fraction of the time as compared to using manual processes. All relevant information can be reported accurately to ensure that schools and districts receive the proper funding from state and federal agencies. ApplicationXtender enables districts to reduce the number of employees dedicated to processing applications, and helps K-12 schools and districts process large numbers of enrollments quickly and cost-effectively.
