E-Com is a multi-user relational database. Multi-user means that staff across a network can gather all of a student’s forms in one location for easier review and auditing of student history. Though E-Com does not eliminate the requirement of printed forms stored in permanent student records, it does greatly simplify the process of creating and managing the forms. E-Com helps special education staff quickly create, store, and print special education forms, thereby helping to eliminate inconsistencies and promote compliance.

The purpose of the E-Com system is to allow special education teachers, psychologists, and other professionals to:

• Better collaborate in a team environment and provide improved student support.
• Create, store, and print special education forms required by the State of Washington for special education students.
• Organize and store student, parent, school, and staff information related to students.
• Promote compliance with state and federal requirements.

This manual will provide E-Com users with instructions on using the E-Com system.
