Case Study: Metropolitan School District of Warren Township achieves streamlined class management and timelier attendance and grades with Tyler Technologies' Tyler SIS

District uses Tyler SIS to evenly distribute students with special needs

The Metropolitan School District of Warren Township, a large urban district in Indianapolis and a seven-year Tyler SIS client, faced a scheduling challenge: master schedulers separated special education and general education populations to balance class loads, which produced duplicate class entries in teachers’ Tyler SIS grade book and attendance screens. The duplicate displays were confusing and time-consuming, leading to incomplete attendance and out-of-date grades.

Tyler worked with the district to add an optional merge feature that lets teachers combine those separate class populations into a single, streamlined interface without changing the underlying schedules. With minimal training, teachers now enter attendance and grades more efficiently and consistently, attendance and grades are more current, and master schedulers retain the population separation they need for balancing.
