Document Purpose:  

Provide a clarifying resource for community members’ use to understand the educational use cases that underpin Ed-Fi SIS API v3 certification.  

Audience: 

Agencies, vendors, collaboratives, and implementation partners 

Background and Description: 

Ed-Fi certification represents an agreement between agency customers and vendor providers. This agreement comprises a scope of data, API specifications, definitions of required/optional/conditional aspects of the data, compatibility with current data standard and technology suite versions, additional normative requirements on system interaction, adherence to general best practices, and importantly, their connection to solving for high value use cases the community has defined and prioritized together.  

 The resulting certification requirements are intended to form a clear, well-defined, and executable ask of vendors by agencies. For vendors, certification defines capabilities to build into their products for replicable and high-quality integrations across the K12 community and ecosystem. 

Feedback and Participation: 

Your feedback and suggestions for continual improvement on these priority use cases are welcomed and needed. There are several channels open to you to lend your perspective:  

• Comment on this page in TechDocs with a mention to Jeff Putnam 
• convey your feedback via email or Slack to Jeff.putnam@ed-fi.org 
• Schedule a meeting with the vendor team

• Discuss in our vendor convenings and governance opportunities, such as the Summit, Technical Congress, Technical Advisory Group, etc.
