Caroline County Public Schools
More Time to Teach
With 10 schools and 5,600 students, CCPS is one of Maryland's
smallest but most advanced school systems when it comes to
deploying information technology to save time and improve
principal, staff, and teacher productivity. Using FileMaker Pro to
manage its intranet is a shining example.
'All administrative, student, and auxiliary information has been
converted to FileMaker Pro and is now available anytime, on demand
which is a real time saver when you are trying to get your hands on
information quickly,' says Wayne Wiley, supervisor of instructional
technology with CCPS.
CCPS' staff of 600 use FileMaker Pro predominantly for the Mac OS
to access via an AppleTalk intranet more than 220 FileMaker
databases -- some with more than 20,000 records that house:
* administrative data such as policy manuals, curriculum guides
and technology maintenance requests
* student data including emergency contact information, test data
and grades
* auxiliary data such as special education, student management and
planning information
Some pieces of CCPS' intranet meant for public knowledge, such as
the curriculum, are even linked to the web using Lasso, a CGI
product from Blueworld.
'Using FileMaker Pro, we've been able to shorten the time for
delivering service and support across our district, provide
accurate and up to date information quickly to all staff and more
effectively provide instructions and tailored solutions for our
teachers,' says Wiley.
