Welcome to Centre Users Groups! |
If you've read anything at all about Student Information Systems (SIS), you'll probably know at least three things: SIS are crucial to your school or district, SIS can be really, I mean really, complicated and lastly SIS are absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive.
 Centre is set to change all that ... Centre is different from the normal models for SIS software. For a start, it's not complicated. Centre has been developed for anyone who's ever used the Internet. It's licensed under the GNU/GPL license, easy to install and administer and reliable. |

Check out the great training info that Mike Weber of Noxon, MT schools is putting on his own excellent website, http://www.beginlinux.org.
This is a Moodle site, and you can login as a guest to the Centre information.
Mike and Noxon Schools are new Centre users and they're doing great! Tammy, Noxon's administrator, has worked hard to get Centre running in just a couple of weeks. We did a student demographics import for them and she's done the rest. Setup users, courses, scheduled students, all that stuff. We're proud of the work they've done.
Mike has put up on information on how you can use Centre effectively. Click here to check it out! |

There is no membership fee, requirements, or anything like that. My name is Chris Danik. I have been interested in Centre for a few years now. Just recently, I have been getting more involved with centre. I have written most of the documentation distributed with centre.
I have decided to start a Michigan Centre Users Group to make centre more widely know around school districts in Michigan. Today schools are struggling to balance their budgets as it is. Having a very expensive school management system does not help that problem any. Centre offers the same features as expensive alternatives but is open-source, and I would like schools to know that. |

We here at the Newmarket, NH School District are doing our best to be both innovative and cost efficient while providing our students with the best possible technology environment for their school work. Therefore, we have endeavored to maintain our Novell Infrastructure which provides us with world class Identity management and network services (at less than $5,000 a year for 18 servers , Groupwise and the Zenworks suite.) while trying to incorporate Open source solutions from places like opensourceschools.org and k12os.org. To further expand that effort, I have been working with Centre/SIS as a replacement for our aging student information system. |

Hello, I have been integrating technology into schools for 15 years , I am a Novell CNE and Microsoft MCSE w2k. I have worked with IBM to install a program called SchoolVista, now extinct. I am very pleased to be involved with Centre, I have installed it on SUSE's SLES 9 and I am very happy with it. I am in the process of integrating it with Novell's e-Directory so that Centre will be the provisioning source for student logins. Centre is a wonderfull program and if I can make it easier for you to install and use, let me know. james |
