How Spatrian Helps South Carolina Families

- Prints a one-page log sheet for each reporting period, so the report is a download rather than an evening
- Issues a transcript with a fingerprint an evaluator can check at spatrian.com/verify without an account
- Names the documents and deadlines it holds for the state, and says where it holds none
