      Henry, thanks for posting this. Do you know of anyone or any organization that uses Focus/SIS? I'm checking on their homepage, and I can't find any clients.

      Jennifer,
      Did you ever get any response(s) on this? We have been giving Focus a serious evaluation at the NC School of Science and Mathematics. We've installed the code on an internal development server along with postgreS (we would have preferred mySQL but can live w/ PostgreS) and have been mostly satisfied, if not necessarily impressed. Still, misgivings linger. Among them, the apparent lack of any other real life installations out there.

        Unfortunately, not much, but I've only looked in a preliminary way...searches of ERIC and WilsonWeb don't turn up anything. The website does point out that the Illinois State Board of Education uses SIS, but that's it.

        On the bright side, though, this may mean an opportunity to publish your findings.
