LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2000

HTE, Inc. (Nasdaq:HTEI), a leading provider of enterprise-wide software solutions for public sector organizations and utilities worldwide, announced today it has been awarded a contract worth more than $400,000 to provide an integrated education system to the Owen J. Roberts School District, Pottstown, Pa. The contract includes HTE's Student Administration, General Accounting, Property Assessment, Payroll and Human Resources applications. The software provides an enterprise-wide solution that runs in the Microsoft Windows NT(R) environment.

"The HTE solution will provide us with an integrated, single-source solution to meet both our instructional and administrative needs," said Dr. Denny G. Bolton, business administrator for the Owen J. Roberts School District, which serves 4,000 students in grades K-12.

The district provides more than 1,000 computer workstations to students, staff and faculty. An upcoming expansion of the district's high school technology infrastructure will significantly increase the total number of workstations.
