Web-based Solutions

Since 2001, Leader has provided comprehensive, web-based solutions to the needs of state and local education agencies. Our IEPWriter special education data management system is used by over 300 local education agencies. Our IDEA compliance monitoring solutions are used statewide by LEAs in Pennsylvania, Missouri, and the US Virgin Islands. Our school-based Medicaid systems are used to support our Medicaid reimbursement programs (see below) in California, Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Washington state.

Additionally, Leader provides a range of solutions for stated education agency needs, from contingency fund applications to tracking teacher training to case management. If there’s a need for a comprehensive web solution, Leader can provide it.
