How does a district decide what data to collect?
Most districts are data rich. They have too much information in too many places to effectively use it. They have information about student records, student assessment, transportation services, food service, human resources, library automation, student health, special education, and curriculum management, to name a few. The challenge is to integrate these disparate systems and make the information available in timely, easy-to-understand reports so that decision makers can affect student performance.
