Project EASIER (Electronic Access System for Iowa Education Records) is the Iowa Department of Education's initiative involving the transfer of individual student records. The mission of the project is to reduce data burden, encourage better decision-making by establishing and maintaining a cost effective method of accessing and transferring accurate and timely education information among school districts, postsecondary institutions and the Iowa Department of Education.
Underlying principles of the project include a commitment toward
reduction of paper-based state reporting, building on existing
technologies available to schools, a commitment toward the elimination
of paper-based college transcripts, the adoption of a common basis for
facilitating meaningful information exchange, and greater security of
confidential student information.

Student Information System (SIS) vendors are asked to participate in
the Iowa Department of Education Vendor Certification Process to ensure
that school districts using their SIS may fully participate in Project
EASIER. During the certification process Project EASIER staff review
the SIS to ensure that the software
- can produce an extract using the Department of Education (DE) specified formats and codes;
- extract meets DE quality assurance standards through testing with predetermined outcomes; and
- can import the State Student IDs.
