Not really. Clever basically says "Here is the data that we need" which is basically a handful of simple flat files each covering some aspect of school data.

Not really. Clever basically says "Here is the data that we need" which is basically a handful of simple flat files each covering some aspect of school data. The school is responsible for extracting that data and getting it to Clever (which usually translates into their SIS vendor extracting the data). Luckily most SIS vendors serve many more than one school district so they get the extract done once and all of their clients are covered.
