New Web-Based Health/Life Safety (H/L S)
Processing System
The Illinois State Board of Education has developed
a new web-based Health/Life Safety (H/L S)
Processing System.
Via ISBE’s web portal, known as IWAS, the
new H/L S Processing System allows users external
to
ISBE to
create and submit
ten year survey and amendment data, annual inspection
reports,
and annual ROE reports for school district buildings
maintained in a facility inventory listing.
There are several key benefits that the H/L S Processing
System offers:
- Freedom of access with the 24/7 ability to create
documents, approvals and updates by the Architect, School
District, Regional Superintendent and ISBE can occur
24/7.
- Improved communication due to comment fields,
and 24/7 online inquiry of information.
- Improved coordination between Architects, School
Districts, Regional Superintendents and ISBE because
documents are easily searched and found, and questions
are easily answered
by 24/7 inquiry.
- Enhanced monitoring of document status via detailed
electronic tracking of ten year survey and amendment
data, annual inspection reports, annual Regional Superintendent
reports documents.
- Time savings provided by various features, including
but not limited to:
- rapid inquiry of information through
one stop centralized resource home page, ‘find
a document’ tab,
various tabs and links
- easy data entry with pre-populated
building and school district fields
- rapid creation
of documents due to copying functions, drop down
lists and automatically calculated fields
- automated
creation of the Certificate Need, the Application
for Approval
- cumulative running totals of approved
funding and amendment numbers
- immediate real time
approvals and updates to documents
- Google map of
location of each school building in the facility
inventory
The implementation for this new system is slated for January,
2008. We hope that you will join us for one of the following
scheduled times to learn how to use this new automated system
for the submission of ten year surveys and amendments.
