The system will replace paper reporting, provide real time accurate data, and be mandatory for schools enrolling foreign students by January 30.

Perry unveils health plan to broaden Texas risk pool
Gov Rick Perry proposed expanding the Texas Health Insurance Risk Pool to include small businesses with fewer than 10 workers. The plan aims to offer major medical coverage to uninsured Texans, using $20 million from tobacco settlements to expand federally qualified health centers, and to add options for prescription-drug coverage and CHIP families to buy employer sponsored insurance. Democratic challenger Tony Sanchez criticized the proposal as a cover up for vetoes and Texas health-care failings.
