“Because of poor-quality data, our district faced having $15 million withheld from Survey #2. Although the data was corrected and the funds eventually received, this event served as a wake-up call for the district.”
A brief but impactful look at a large school district’s data quality challenge, approach and results. From the Resource: “In the past, OCPS had no way to tell schools that they had data problems, other than waiting until the survey data was shipped and the error reports were retrieved from DOE. The DOE reports were printed and sent to the schools to make corrections in the amendment system. The data was rarely corrected in the source system.”
