OnCourse Systems for Education Recipient of Scholastic Administr@tor's Best in
Tech Award

GIBBSTOWN, N.J., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- OnCourse Systems for Education, a
provider of award-winning, web-based tools that streamline and automate
educational processes for public and private school districts, today announced
that it had been awarded Scholastic Administr@tor Magazine's Best in Tech
Award in 2008 for its web-based OnCourse Discipline Management System.

OnCourse's solution provides powerful tracking and automated alert features to
enable schools to document, automate and communicate effectively with all
educational stakeholders regarding disciplinary actions for individual
students.

"The intuitiveness of the system is so that you are three clicks away from
getting to exactly what you need. In a school system, that's huge," said Chris
Samuels, systems administrator for Hopewell Crest School in Bridgeton, N.J.
"You have people calling, and people coming in all the time, wanting to know
the bus number or what class they're in. When a secretary can click a tab, do
a search on a kid, and a demographic screen pops up within 15 seconds, it's
just a godsend. The system has its own public portal, and when a teacher
updates grades or a secretary enters discipline information, that data is
available in real time."

"Receiving an award that is voted on by both knowledgeable editors and
administrators that are actually in schools using the various technologies is
a tremendous honor," said Georgia Gallicchio, chief marketing officer at
OnCourse Systems. "Being able to more easily comply with regulations,
document disciplinary incidents and communicate with students and their
guardians makes discipline management and tracking much easier for teachers
and administrators."

The Best in Tech products are selected by the editors of Scholastic
Administr@tor from a large variety of new and compelling educational
solutions. The products are then sent to a panel of district administrators
for review. The winners are listed in the March/April 2009 issue of the
magazine.
