Istation’s Indicators of Progress is Istation’s computer-adaptive assessment system, commonly called ISIP, for screening and monitoring reading, mathematics, and Spanish literacy in supported grades. It provides skill information, risk indicators, growth reports, and links to Istation instructional resources.

Districts use recurring ISIP administrations to support universal screening, instructional grouping, intervention, and progress review within the larger Istation environment. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

Amira combines its reading assessment technology with Istation’s ISIP assessment in Amira ISIP Assess. The current reading product supports oral-reading assessment in English and Spanish, screening, benchmark assessment and progress monitoring. This transition concerns reading assessment; it does not make Istation mathematics, instructional programs and the broader Amira suite the same product. Districts should confirm the assessment version and measures included in their license.

IXL Real-Time Diagnostic is an adaptive diagnostic embedded in IXL that estimates student levels and identifies skill gaps in mathematics and language arts. It updates as students answer questions and connects identified needs directly with recommended IXL skills.

Teachers use the diagnostic to establish baselines, group students, monitor changing skill profiles, and assign personalized practice within IXL. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

JumpRope is a standards-based gradebook that connects instructional evidence with defined learning standards. It helps teachers record mastery, give specific feedback, and examine student progress across multiple measures and points in time.

Students and families can see progress toward individual learning goals, while schools can compare performance across classrooms and review alignment of expectations. Districts should establish common standards, scoring rules, reassessment practices, reporting expectations, and conversion policies before broad implementation.

K-12 Online is listed as an online student registration product used by a California district, but the current public website and independent product documentation are insufficient to confirm its present ownership, feature set, or support model. The record should therefore avoid claims beyond its reported enrollment role.

During reconciliation, the connected district should identify the vendor contact, login URL, SIS relationship, active contract or support status, and whether the name refers to a commercial registration system, a locally hosted service, or a virtual-school enrollment portal. Until then, the historical relationship should be preserved but treated as unverified-current.

KACE Service Desk by Quest is a ticket-management system for IT support organizations. It accepts requests through self-service, email, web, or staff channels and provides configurable queues, fields, workflows, knowledge resources, service levels, and reporting.

KACE Service Desk can be licensed independently or used within KACE Systems Management Appliance, where tickets connect directly with device discovery, inventory, patching, software distribution, remote support, and configuration history. Districts should identify which KACE configuration they operate.

Kaspersky provides endpoint, server, email, network, and managed cybersecurity products outside the United States. Its business platforms combine malware and ransomware prevention, behavioral detection, centralized administration, vulnerability controls, and incident-response capabilities.

This listing requires an unusually strong U.S. availability warning. U.S. Department of Commerce restrictions prohibit Kaspersky from providing products and services in the United States, so it should not be represented as a currently procurable option for California districts even though the company and products remain active internationally. Historical district relationships should be preserved for later review.

Khanmigo is Khan Academy’s generative AI tutor for learners and teaching assistant for educators. For students, it is embedded in Khan Academy learning activities and uses a guided, Socratic approach intended to help learners reason through a problem rather than simply supply an answer; it can also support questions in subjects beyond a specific Khan Academy exercise.

For teachers and districts, Khanmigo combines AI-assisted planning and classroom-resource tools with student progress information, interaction visibility, and the broader Khan Academy content and mastery platform. Classroom access for students is provided through school or district implementations, allowing leaders to pair AI tutoring with rostering, reporting, implementation support, and established instructional content.

Kialo Edu is a free education platform for mapping arguments and facilitating structured discussion. It is intended primarily for secondary and postsecondary learners examining debatable questions, with students, teachers, debate coaches, and content-area educators using it to support structured discussion, claims, evidence, counterarguments, source evaluation, and civic discourse.

Learners contribute pro and con claims, attach evidence, evaluate reasoning, and navigate a visual argument map synchronously or asynchronously. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

KickUp is a K–12 educator-growth platform that combines professional-learning management with coaching, walkthrough, feedback, and employee-evaluation workflows. Districts can centralize learning opportunities, attendance, credits, transcripts, forms, observation data, goals, and growth activity instead of maintaining separate systems and spreadsheets.

The platform is designed to connect professional learning with district priorities and evidence about educator practice. Modular licensing matters: districts should document whether they use Learning, Coaching and Walks, Growth, dashboards, or other components and how employee, identity, and course data enter the system.

Kide Science is Accelerate Learning’s play-based early science curriculum. It is intended primarily for preschool and primary-grade learners, with young learners, early-childhood teachers, families, and curriculum leaders using it to support inquiry, play, science practices, language, and imaginative investigation.

Children investigate science questions through stories, dramatic play, hands-on experiments, discussion, and documentation. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Kids Read Now is a managed book-distribution and family literacy program with supporting technology. It is intended primarily for preschool and elementary readers participating in school or summer reading programs, with students, families, teachers, literacy leaders, and community partners using it to support book ownership, summer reading, reading motivation, family engagement, and comprehension.

Children choose books for home delivery, families receive reading prompts and reminders, and schools monitor participation across a campaign. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Koha is a free and open-source integrated library system for cataloging, circulation, patrons, acquisitions, serials, authorities, reporting, notices, and public discovery. It supports single libraries, multi-branch systems, and consortia through browser-based staff and patron interfaces.

The software has no license fee or single required vendor, but it is not operationally free: districts must provide hosting, security, upgrades, backups, integrations, migration, configuration, and support themselves or contract with a Koha service provider. The quality and cost of the implementation depend heavily on that operating model.
