focus state reporting
Focus understands that there are two distinct needs when it comes to student data: data that is error-free and data that accurately represents a district’s student population. Focus ensures that our clients’ data meets both of these needs.
Quality data is the top priority during state reporting periods, but Focus understands that data quality should not only be a consideration in these “snapshot” times. This attention to data quality keeps school and district performance on target, and makes state reporting an easier process since every data-driven decision requires accurate data.
Focus has successfully met state reporting requirements for every state in which the company does business. This includes state reporting for Florida and Texas, two states that are recognized as having the most demanding state reporting requirements, in addition to New Jersey, Michigan, and California.
Focus has a variety of built-in features for error checking while entering data. Our district address catalog feature prevents users from entering a student who is outside the zoned area for the school. The course catalog feature prevents errors for users when entering course information. Customizable edit rules are used on fields that have specific requirements related to other fields.
These tools allow for continual data checking and school-based ownership of information; these are fundamental components to our SIS, and encourage a culture where quality data is expected and delivered.
