About this file

Written by GovTribe AI · Nov 18, 2025

This document is a Solution Requirements specification issued by the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) for a Growth Measures software solution. The specification outlines comprehensive functional, technical, and operational requirements across multiple categories including state-level, district-level, and school-level capabilities. Core requirements include the ability to capture student-level state assessment data, calculate school-level growth measures, integrate with the Ed-Fi API for enrollment data, and generate reports on student performance across subgroups. The solution must provide web-based reporting on growth metrics at state and Local Education Agency (LEA) levels, support formative and summative assessments for math and ELA, and enable comparative analysis across districts, schools, and grade levels. Additional mandatory features include projection summary reports predicting future proficiency and college-readiness levels, diagnostic tools identifying student progress patterns, and an online portal with definable security, user-configurable settings, and real-time processing capabilities without batch processing requirements.

The specification establishes extensive technical requirements organized into discrete functional areas, all designated as mandatory unless otherwise noted. The solution must comply with accessibility standards including ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.x compliance with current VPAT documentation, prohibit advertising and user tracking, maintain comprehensive audit trails with 6-12 months of retention capacity, and support multiple data integration standards including CSV and XML imports. Security requirements mandate robust password protocols, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, multi-factor authentication, and SQL injection prevention. The solution must operate as a hosted offering with 99.99% uptime availability (excluding scheduled maintenance), include disaster recovery and business continuity testing, and support Ed-Fi API integration with error handling and unsuccessful event logging capabilities. The vendor must provide current documentation, training platforms, 24/7 end-user support, and maintain a Service Level Agreement (SLA), while accommodating current and future state and federal reporting requirements through customization capabilities.
