Flexibly, interactively develop insights through map views and database queries that can lead to education improvement, more efficient ways of managing operations, and/or gain insights into the school district and school district community infrastructure. A school district has many diverse data about students and its community. Usually the data are available in tables, lists, and charts and often not easily used by teams, committees, planners, board of education, administration, other staff and for collaboration with stakeholders. The SDGIS enables you to knit these data together for wide-ranging analyses. By enabling district planners and decision-makers to more effectively identify and understand patterns, the district can better choose steps to improve performance and educational opportunities.
