CT-SEDS vs SEIS

CT-SEDS is Connecticut’s statewide web-based special education data system for developing adaptive, compliant IEPs. The state provides it to local education agencies at no cost, with staff permissions assigned by role. Its IEP and referral/evaluation modules include compliance rules and warnings during document completion. Other modules cover service plans, service delivery tracking, progress reports, Section 504 plans, restraint and seclusion, and related special education processes. Student records are kept in a document repository, which is copied to a new district when the student’s PSIS enrollment district changes. Parent Connect sends parents links to specific documents by email or text; parents do not sign into CT-SEDS itself. Documents can be translated into Connecticut’s ten listed languages and printed in the selected language when finalized. Reports include indicator and aggregate views, advanced reporting from document fields, and a dashboard that alerts case managers about approaching timelines and meetings. A nightly integration with the Public School Information System exchanges enrollment district, demographic, and facility code data. Districts cannot add their own processes or documents, though they can upload materials and templates for users.

SEIS is a web-based system for managing IEPs and special education records. It supports IEP writing, special education data management, CALPADS reporting, and service tracking. Forms use information from the Student Record, while a built-in utility flags CALPADS errors during the IEP affirm process. Providers can record service delivery, and an optional Medi-Cal billing feature sends service information to Medi-Cal for Interim Reimbursement. District SIS integrations sync data with SEIS and update it nightly. BeyondSST supports recording and sharing SST and 504 interventions, observations, and meetings. Student IEP history moves with students transferring within the SEIS network. The system is managed by CEDR Systems, a department of the San Joaquin County Office of Education, and reports use by 115 SELPAs and more than 1,500 LEAs or school districts in California. Supported environments are Windows 10 build 2004 or later, Windows 11, and macOS 12 or later. Pricing is on request.
