[K12OSN] Power School????

[Huck]

We just adopted PowerSchool(their hosted solution..== less nightmare for 
me)...and it's quite nice other than the 'java applet' for the 
gradebook/attendance...

You host it yourself and they only support Mac and Windows server 
installs though...at least a year ago that was the case.

You can use any browser but certain 'advanced' features are only 
accessible using IE.
