Colorado School Choice goes live at Ed News!

CiviCore is proud to announce that the Colorado School Choice data system is now powering the new Education News Colorado data center.  You can find the application at http://csc.ednewsparent.org.

The Colorado School Choice data system contains detailed information on all 1700 schools in Colorado.  The system provides parents with better ways to understand schools in their area and make informed school choices for their children by providing them information on enrollment statistics, achievement and performance, and programs offered.  The interactive maps and charts provide parents with great tools for better understanding the schools in their area.

Education News Colorado, found at http://ednewscolorado.org, is the only news service devoted to continuing, in-depth coverage of education policymaking in the legislature and state government.  It features comprehensive coverage and serious analysis of such issues as school choice, accountability, and education reform.  They recently launched a partner site, "EdNews Parent," found at http://ednewsparent.org, as a "way to engage Colorado parents on issues we all care about: teaching and learning, healthy schools, and school safety."  Here at CiviCore, we're excited to help Colorado parents make more informed decisions around school choice by equipping this new website with the Colorado School Choice data system.
