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, local education agency collaboratives, and implementation partners
Background and Description
: Ed-Fi certification represents an agreement between agency customers and vendor providers. This agreement comprises:
, , 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.
