My Integrated Student Information System (MiSiS) is a modernized all-in-one student information solution which provides the teachers, administrators, counselors and others with access to student information all in one place. MiSiS is also the first fully –integrated student information system in LAUSD.
There are two reasons why the District built a new student information system. First, the former student data systems were not yet fully developed and didn’t provide everything the District needed. Second, the District is obligated to meet the requirements set forth by the Modified Consent Decree.
