◈ The whole argument, on one page

Most schools run seven systems that nearly talk.

An ERP, a learning platform, an examination system, a fee ledger, a messaging app, an attendance device and a training spreadsheet. Each is somebody's whole product. None of them agree with the others, and the person reconciling them is usually the principal. Here is what each one does, and what replaces it.

One record underneath all seven. Mark a learner absent as a teacher and the parent sees it the same minute — not because anything synced, but because there is one attendance table and both people are reading it.
