Too many schools still rely on paper forms, manual record handling and physical storage. These methods are slow and costly. Also, storing paper records in drawers and filing cabinets leaves schools vulnerable to data theft, regulatory fines, and loss from natural disaster. Even electronically-stored information may not be protected from cyber attacks if it isn't controlled and secured with an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system like the PaperVision^® product suite.

Use this checklist to grade your school's strengths and weaknesses when it comes to managing student records, personnel files and other important school information.
