In the Ballston Spa Central School District in upstate New York, the administrative future of schools has already arrived. Now, Ballston Spa school district information flows seamlessly from department to department and building to building, and soon, it will flow freely from schools to homes.
Precious time is saved.
Decisions are made faster. But best of all, says district database manager Jayson Crair, decisions are based on more accurate data. Now I can create reports that can be sort of run on the fly. Better yet, he says, because the data are immediately available to so many different school people, district administrators no longer have to rely on others to find numbers or run data analyses for them. They can do it themselves.
