ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Focus School Software today announced that Hanford Elementary School District, located in Hanford, California, has selected Focus as its next-generation Student Information System (SIS) through the California EdTech Joint Powers Authority (JPA) purchasing vehicle. The district will transition from its current SIS, Synergy, to Focus in a strategic move to modernize its data systems, improve user experience, and reduce administrative burden on staff.
Serving over 5,700 students across 11 schools, Hanford Elementary prioritized a platform offering intuitive workflows, robust self-service capabilities, exceptional customer support, and a unified experience for parents, students, and staff. By consolidating multiple tools into Focus, the district will reduce the number of separate applications required, simplifying communication and daily tasks for families and educators. By purchasing through the California EdTech JPA, the district leveraged a streamlined, compliant procurement process to select the SIS solution that best aligns with its needs.
"We are honored to partner with Hanford Elementary School District as they modernize their student information systems," said Andrew Schmadeke, CEO of Focus School Software. "Districts like Hanford are recognizing the need for flexible, easy-to-use technology that empowers their teams and communities, rather than requiring constant vendor intervention."
Key Drivers for Hanford's Selection of Focus:
This selection underscores Focus School Software's commitment to serving California districts with comprehensive, easy-to-manage SIS solutions that reduce IT bottlenecks and elevate the end-user experience.
