How many paper forms does your school district process each year?

Paper Forms are Pervasive

School districts still suffer from having to capture information with a litany of paper forms:

• Enrollment and student services
• Student emergency information
• Authorization to give medication
• School Personnel Health Record
• HR and job applications
• Finance and administration
• Many more…

Optimized E-Forms Processing

Electronic Forms (e-forms) represent a modern data collection tool that offers five major benefits:

1. The ability to capture data and legally binding electronic signatures without the paper
2. The person best suited to fill out the form is the same one that enters the information, resulting in far greater accuracy and dramatically reducing processing costs
3. You save approximately $7.40 per paper form that you process today
4. E-forms can be easily created in Word by school staff members without needing programming experience
5. E-form updates can be made and rolled out district-wide quickly
