1. Request for Proposal for Integrated Data Dashboard - RFP 2019-2020 RFP #06 | Adrienne Usher |
District audit results revealed need for improvements related to monitoring "a systematic improvement process" specific to (1) data analysis and disaggregation of academic and non-academic needs at (2) procedures to analyze outcomes of school/district level support-programs that improve student learning and performance. Also an identified need is a documented, systematic quality assurance process used to be used by schools and the district for effectiveness and consistency. More specifically, this improvement area sated to "collect, analyze and monitor progress made towards achieving the district's educational expectations; and evaluate and monitor the process to ensure adjustments to the district's education expectations are made." Based on comparison of improvement areas and the current reality, the district and schools have a variety of data sources housed in many different locations. Due to this, the time it takes teachers, administrators and district leaders to collect, analyze and draw conclusions to inform decisions for continuous improvement is cumbersome and inefficient. Based on beginning strategic planning work, the current data collection methods are a barrier to timely action for continuous improvement. Due to this need, a Request for Proposal for an Integrated Data Dashboard for the 2019-2020 school year to assist with more organizational effectiveness leading to improvement performance is requested. The bid results will be provided at the May 2019 Board meeting. | |
