Document Purpose:  

Provide a resource to community members for understanding 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
• compatibility with current data standard and technology suite versions
• additional normative requirements on system interaction
• adherence to general best practices
• 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.
