SIRAS
Goleta, California, United States
What it is
SIRAS is a browser-based system for school districts and special education staff managing IEP, 504, and Student Study Team workflows. Its IEP tools manage documents and CALPADS data, support DINC reports, and include GoalWizard to help staff develop goals. The system can translate most IEP forms from English to Spanish. The SST Tracker organizes meetings, validates forms, and supports response to intervention across three tiers. A 504 Plan Module supports English and Spanish plans and can be used with the SST module. Reporting includes customizable lists, compliance searches, statistical reports, and student-data exports in Excel, DBF, or CSV formats. SIRAS supports data exchange between IEP and SIS systems, plus TOMS export and CAASPP reporting. Custom import or export files require scoping and setup and may have a maintenance fee. The maker describes the application as cloud-based and built with web frameworks and open-source technology over a normalized SQL database. SIRAS is designed for school districts, with California-specific CALPADS and school reporting support. Pricing is available on request.
