News: First PowerSchool, now Chancery: Pearson on SIS spree:

Pearson Education is on a Student Information System (SIS) acquisition spree — the company has acquired Chancery Software, a week after announcing it had acquired Apple’s PowerSchool.

So another competitor goes down the throat of the Pearson/SASI juggernaut. My guess is that it is time for a group of districts to get together and investigate and layout some serious support for some of the open source efforts out there. Soon there will be on commercial option and believe me it SUCKS
