TOWSON, Md. — March 3, 2009— Spectrum K12 School Solutions has been named a “Best K-12 Enterprise Solution” finalist for the 2009 CODiE Awards.

Award winners will be announced May 4, 2009 at the 24th Annual SIIA CODiE Awards Gala in San Francisco, CA.

Spectrum K12 earned finalist consideration for its web-based EXCEED™ product, an integrated student achievement management platform allowing teachers to drive day-to-day activities, research based interventions and outcomes to help all students achieve success while giving administrators the ability to see what’s working and what’s not by student, by teacher or by intervention.
