e-IEP PRO vs SIRAS

e-IEP PRO is a customizable web-based student management system for schools and districts handling special education. It centralizes student information and supports paperless transfer of electronic records. Modules cover referrals, meeting notices, prior written notices, assessments and evaluations, IEPs, progress reporting, Section 504 forms, Medicaid session tracking, and compliance reporting. The system incorporates federal and state required documents and is tailored to state requirements. Reporting includes ad-hoc, State (AzEDS), and Census reports, with a module for Student Information System integration. Notifications flag due dates for meetings and IEP or MET reviews. IEP team document locking is intended to protect data integrity. The hosted service is accessible from internet-connected computers or mobile devices. Training videos and software support are available 24/7. The maker offers scheduled online demonstrations, typically about 1.5 hours.

SIRAS is a cloud-based, browser-accessible system for school districts and special education staff managing IEP, 504, and Student Study Team workflows. Its IEP tools manage documents and CALPADS data, support DINC reports, and include GoalWizard to help staff develop goals. The system can translate most IEP forms from English to Spanish. SST Tracker organizes Student Study Team meetings, validates forms, and supports response to intervention across academic and behavioral strategies in three tiers. The 504 Plan Module supports English and Spanish plans and can work alongside the SST module. Reporting includes customizable lists, compliance searches, statistical reports, and student-data exports in Excel, DBF, or CSV formats. SIRAS supports IEP-to-SIS and SIS-to-SIRAS integration, plus TOMS export and CAASPP reporting. Custom import or export files require scoping and setup, with a possible maintenance fee. Designed with California-specific CALPADS and school reporting support, SIRAS is web-only and has pricing on request.
