Migrant Education projects and Migrant Education programs are the types of programs that have the need for special student tracking. ShadowTrac is intended to fill that need for those programs or projects that have this specific need, or for any program that tracks students receiving special educational services. Tracking your students in such a way as to provide instant access to your student's records provides you the means to manage your program or project with complete confidence in your student record's accuracy.
Since the fall of MSRTS, local migrant education projects have been scrambling to achieve a way to track the students they are servicing. Many times they have had to rely on their state to supply them with numbers, and in some cases, have developed their own software applications and used other means to keep up with the highly mobile migrant student. The development of ShadowTrac began before MSRTS was de-funded. It has gone though several major revisions to accomodate enhancements and specific requests. The one thing it does, and does well, is give you an accurate account of where your migrant children and their families are in relation to your Migrant Education Project.
Even Start Programs, and English As Second Language (ESL) Programs can also benefit from ShadowTrac. Any project that has to count the number and type of students receiving service can be benefited.
If you've ever asked a question like, "How many active 5th graders do I have in a particular school and how many of them are female?", ShadowTrac is for you! This type of information is a constant need in the battle to provide accurate counts of the students your program services. Need for this type of information can come at anytime and from almost unlimited sources. School principles, secretaries, and government agencies can require accurate counts with a simple phone call. ShadowTrac ensures that you can confidently answer these questions with a few keystrokes. With ShadowTrac you get the information you need when you need it.
The tracking of Migrant Education students, and other types of program's students at the local level, greatly enhances the projects ability to manage the resources of the project to ensure exceptional services are provided to it's students.
