About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join ISBE’s Chief Information Officer Edobor Efam and Software Solutions leaders to give your feedback on the ISBE Web Application Security (IWAS), as the agency plans a refresh of the portal to enhance its features and make it easier to navigate and more user-friendly. We want to hear from school and district administrators, regional superintendents, and other users of IWAS about your pain points, concerns, and ideas. 

We’re also giving IWAS a new name: MyISBE! With MyISBE, the days of multiple accounts, static data, and unverified account information are over. MyISBE will provide real-time data and dashboards multi-factor authentication, and single sign-on. 

IWAS is the primary security portal for administrators to apply for and manage grants from ISBE and to access ISBE’s data and reporting systems, including: 

  • Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS) 
  • Electronic Grants Management System (eGMS) 
  • Employment Information System (EIS) 
  • Entity Profile System (EPS) 
  • IEP-Student Tracking and Reporting System (I-Star) 
  • Illinois State Course System 
  • Student Information System (SIS) 
  • Year-End Collection 

 The new MyISBE will launch in FY 2026. We look forward to engaging you throughout the process from now until then.   

Persons who need special accommodations, including language translation services, should contact ISBE's Language Access Coordinator Diana Torres at dtorres@isbe.net or (312) 814-5818 at least two weeks in advance of the event.
