Fairfax County Public Schools, located in Fairfax County, Virginia, is the 13th largest school district in the United States, with over 164,000 students attending classes in 238 schools, and a $2.1 billion annual operating budget. It is a diverse and dynamic school system, and parents have come to expect and demand a lot from FCPS. FCPS has relied heavily on its information technology systems over the years to ensure facilities and classes run smoothly.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is required to comply with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (“No Child Left Behind”), the most significant education policy initiative in decades. The goals of this act include high proficiency standards, highly qualified teachers, and a 100% graduation rate. FCPS’ Department of Information Technology needed application integration to fulfill these requirements.
Thanks to the capabilities of webmethods’ integration suite, FCPS achieved comprehensive system integration, including built-in support for business process management and workflow.
System integration has led towards greater automation of Fairfax County Public Schools’ business processes and compliance with “No Child Left Behind” requirements.
