<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN

used and how to interface with the SQL data directly, we could have many vendors
providing "front ends" to CASES data according to different school needs.
DE&T could set the data exchange standards and approve packages that met
their criteria. WE would benefit by having integrated software instead of
multiple standalone systems.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

observations because the DE&T module has such a poor and slow

been IN cases as well as having a useable interface for
