In this presentation, we will explore the intricacies of state reporting, going beyond the base-level data to rolling in the deep to uncover deeper insights and trends. State reporting is often seen as a routine task, but its potential goes far beyond mere compliance. By delving deeper into the data, we can uncover valuable information that can inform decision-making, policy development, and resource allocation. By combining insights learned last year from DESE and the newly adopted platform Cedar Labs with established best practices, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of state reporting and the value of the data to districts. Attendees will also learn about changes to State Reporting for 2024/2025 and be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to leverage state reporting data effectively for decision-making and policy development.
