Miami-Dade County Public Schools are known for their robust selection of school choice programs. To go along with their program selection, MDCPS has moved forward with a robust application and lottery management system by Smart Choice Technologies. Opening the applications this fall, MDCPS anticipates to recieve over xx,xxx applications for the 2015-2016 school year.

Taking their system to the next level, Smart Choice Technologies was able to integrate student data from the district’s custom SIS to prefill applications with ease. With this student data, not only does the system make the process of applying easier and less time consuming for parents, administrators are also able to review a custom student portfolio for each applicant including attendance and grades all in one area!

Smart Choice was also able to create a Single Sign On for parents through the district’s parent portal as well as for admins through the admin portal. The Single Sign On allows for parent and administrative users to be automatically authenticated when entering the Smart Choice System and therefore reducing the number of username and passwords for pre-existing users.

Assisting the MDCPS administrative team, Smart Choice developed custom parent tutorial videos in English and Spanish as well a a series of user manuals. With this extensive documentation and video assistance, Smart Choice was able to create a seamless and easy transition for the parents and administrators to a new online application and lottery system.
