Case Study: Calhoun Intermediate School District achieves compliant, efficient special education management with Illuminate Special Education

Calhoun Intermediate School District improves IEP compliance for 3,900 students with Illuminate Education

Calhoun Intermediate School District faced the challenge of ensuring its special education programs complied with complex state and federal mandates. Tracking information for its 3,900 special needs students and creating compliant Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) was a daunting, largely paper-based process that required extensive training with every regulatory change. To address this, the district partnered with Illuminate Education to develop a new solution.

The solution was the co-development of Illuminate Special Education, a web-based data management system. This system streamlined the entire IEP process, making it easy to create compliant plans and manage student data. The results were highly successful, with two districts passing state audits with flying colors. Staff became more efficient, saving time on tracking and reporting, collaboration improved, and parents felt more involved. Ultimately, Illuminate Education's system ensured the district could better meet the needs of its special education students.
