K-12 Schools

As your student population grows, so do your records. But with increasing demands for instant information and the storage and retrieval burden of complying with regulations such as NCLB, FERPA and HIPAA, your staff is striving to do more with less.

Laserfiche solutions help you improve efficiency, productivity and service quality—so you spend your time with students, instead of shuffling paper.

  • Scan attendance documents, notes from home and report cards directly into student files.
  • Instantly print copies of student files for parents.
  • Easily search by keyword or template field to locate disciplinary or academic information in student files.

We save money and time with Laserfiche, but most importantly, we can better serve students and their families.

Physical document storage consumes valuable office and classroom space, and recreating lost and misfiled documents costs time—and money.

With Laserfiche, you reclaim time, resources and labor costs by eliminating inefficient paper-based processes, while also increasing document security, improving information accessibility and automating business processes.


Laserfiche for K-12 Schools


With both public and private schools burdened with more paperwork than ever before, Laserfiche gives you the tools to combat the inefficiency and expense of paper storage. You minimize paper-shuffling and searching for documents, ensuring that student records are always available.

But the benefits don’t stop there. Laserfiche works just as well for accounting, human resources, administrative and public records as it does for your student records—so you manage all your information from a single application, balancing administrative demands with budgetary challenges and rising to the challenges of providing both students and parents with quality service.

Secure Student Information

Administering record access under FERPA consumes staff time, as does protecting the privacy of medical records according to HIPAA rules. Using Laserfiche’s granular security system, you design and implement a security policy that works within your existing environment—ensuring that confidential information is safe from unauthorized access or release.

  • Control confidential records, and prevent them from showing up in a repository search.
  • Dynamically apply document-level security for each type of document within a file.
  • Eliminate misplaced files, files lost in transit from off-site storage facilities and inappropriately accessed files.
