SEIS vs SyncIEP

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.

SyncIEP is a web workspace for special education teams handling IEPs, progress, deadlines, meetings, and family communication. It drafts and edits on a district’s existing IEP form using case-file evidence, while educators review suggestions before they enter an IEP. Progress monitoring can score photographed student work against a goal metric and add sourced points to a mastery series. The caseload dashboard brings together student deadlines, tasks, compliance health, and meetings, and supports bulk roster imports with mapping and validation. Google Calendar and Outlook connections check availability, flag conflicts, and synchronize confirmed meetings. Families can view shared documents and plain-language progress reports and respond to meeting invitations through free portal accounts. Security statements cover encryption in transit and at rest, tenant-isolated workspaces, role-based access, and audit logging. SyncIEP says it signs the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement before student data is added. The Educator plan costs $10 a month for one caseload; a 30-day trial is listed, but no free plan.
