Our/My software called Open Admin for Schools is a lightweight web based
SIS package based on MySQL/Perl. It is GPL'd. It is currently being used
in 4 divisions (that I know about) here in Saskatchewan, Canada and by
some international schools.

I have several demonstration sites for Main Admin, Teacher, and IEP. They
are linked on my main page (which includes documentation) at:
