25-June-07 by Staff Reporters

South Australian company MGM Wireless has been named preferred tenderer for the Western Australian Department of Education and Training's planned school attendance management and communication service.

Details of the project, to allow schools to contact parents and guardians via SMS in case of truancy or similar matters, are yet to be finalised, a spokeswoman for the department told WA Business News.

"All public schools will be offered the opportunity, but will not be obliged, to sign up for the school attendance management and communication service," she said.
