Interactive Map – Legislative Services

The Office of Accountability and Efficiency (OAE) continues to analyze local, state, and federal data for the district’s Legislative Policy Manager in support of the district’s legislative agendas to create a funding model that is sufficient, sustainable, and equitable across all districts. The OAE has developed an online, interactive map for the Manager regarding special education funding. The online module illustrates the increase in special education funding that each school district in the state would receive if proration rates increased from their current rate of 25.7% to 90%. The office is working on calculating other proration rates, ranging from 33% to 70%, and will update the online tool to reflect a range of proration rates.

Business-Intelligence & Data-visualization Reporting

1. Background

The OAE uses an online business-intelligence (BI) tool to create custom visuals and reports to enhance data-driven decisions across the district. The BI tool allows stakeholders to quickly analyze raw data in visual displays, resulting in clean, transparent, and efficient reporting metrics.

2. Update

The OAE continues to work with the Administration to create an interactive business-intelligence dashboard for central administrators to monitor school, student, and programmatic metrics regarding efficiency, performance, or progress. This dashboard allows users to visualize these data metrics to help inform data-driven decisions. The tool’s enhancements allow users to drill-down into the data, to sort by regions and zones, and to review year-to-date and year-over-year comparisons. The OAE will continue to work with the Administration to roll out more features throughout the school year through the updates to the district’s reporting tools.
