Hi All,

I thought that Pearsons had purchased Chauncery, SASI and Powerschool? Are
they going to continue to support all of these? I heard they were not and
were going to and change everyone over to Powerschool. Is this not the case?
  Here at WNESU we are looking into changing from Win School to something
more updated. So far whats out there is way to expensive for what they
provide in features and service. I was leaning towards a n open source
solution, and would like any feedback from anyone who has tried it.

This discussion has been great and timely.

Thanks
Wes Vaughan
WNESU
