Data Quality Scorecards

The Data Quality Tool sends scorecard emails to staff alerting them about potential data quality issues and providing other useful information.

Types of Scorecards

School-based Scorecards

School-based scorecards are composed of targeted, actionable rules that help direct school staff to specific data maintenance tasks. Rules on school-based scorecards may identify errors that need correcting, can provide helpful reminders that staff should be taking an action in the near future, or can help to close gaps in providing appropriate services to students. Most target audiences for school-based scorecards only receive alerts when they have the permissions to make the appropriate changes in Infinite Campus. Principals and Assistant Principals also receive a list of all of the alerts for their school so that they can appropriately monitor progress.

Report Scorecards

In contrast to the other scorecards, a report scorecard is generally not intended to be actionable. Report scorecards provide an up-to-date list of students that meet a set of high-priority criteria or notify recipients of situations that may warrant their attention. They are not actionable, and there is no information that needs to be corrected. Examples of report scorecard rules include lists of students receiving Special Education services who were suspended in the previous week, or a notification of students who transferred schools with a behavior plan. To help users differentiate between report scorecards and scorecards with actionable rules, the email notification for report scorecards has a light blue color.

Central Office Scorecards

Central Office scorecards are tailored to the needs of a program office and may contain a mix of actionable rules and other types of alerts. At times, rules that appear on school-based scorecards may also appear on the scorecard for the relevant program office so that their staff can monitor progress or address any issues that school-based staff may have. In other circumstances, actionable rules are designed so that the program office staff are notified in a timely manner when they need to take action. Finally, some Central Office rules may not require immediate action, and instead serve to alert the program office staff of specific situations.
