Impact Suite vs SIRAS

Impact Suite is a K-12 platform combining compliance management, student behavioral health and safety, mental wellness, and emergency response. AskImpact provides cited answers from authorized school data and can open concerns, schedule hall passes, and run reports. Behavior workflows use MTSS, PBIS, and trauma-informed practices to create individualized plans. Students have daily check-ins, mindfulness tools, and guided courses; teachers receive SEL resources, and parents connect through Raise. Emergency response features include real-time alerts, customizable protocols, and direct communication with first responders through its Emergent 3 partnership. SIS integration syncs attendance, academic, and behavior data daily, while writeback updates the SIS in real time. The platform offers web, Android, iOS, and API access, plus progress monitoring, service tracking, compliance reporting, and parent portals. Impact Suite states FERPA, HIPAA, and COPPA compliance, role-based access controls, and AES-256 encryption for stored data. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan.

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.
