4GL School Solutions Inc. (4GL), a leading provider of proven, data-driven solutions for managing special populations, to provide a comprehensive, Web-based solution for special education program management for its schools. 4GL has signed a $5.4 million agreement with the Dallas Independent School District to provide special education compliance services for the district's 218 schools.

To be implemented over the next four years, the agreement will provide DISD with 4GL's SETS™ (Special Education Tracking System™), EZ Compliance Forms™, and MaxMed™ software for managing Medicaid data collection and increasing the recovery of funds. 4GL's solutions alleviate much of the burden of managing special education requirements and meeting state and federal mandates, while being customized to conform to current district business methods and forms.

"Academic achievement, good stewardship of the tax dollar and student safety are our priorities in the DISD and we believe this software will help us daily in meeting our goals in the Dallas ISD," said Superintendent Mike Moses. "When we operate efficiently and produce students who will graduate and become a vibrant part of the city's economy, we have done our job in making Dallas a better place in which to live. This software is intended to help DISD dramatically improve our management of programs for all of our children with special needs."

4GL School Solutions helps school districts define and articulate their business process for managing all aspects of special education and other programs such as English as a Second Language and services for children with physical disabilities - helping client districts implement best practices. Based on this understanding, 4GL customizes its software-driven tools to mirror the district's own business process and assures implementation success through strong onsite staffing support.
