The Problem

With 12 buildings across elementary, middle, and high school, Shenendehowa had no way to see whether MTSS was working at a district level. Each building tracked interventions differently. Some used spreadsheets, others used paper, and a few didn't track at all. The district knew it had an MTSS plan but couldn't answer: "Is it actually reducing the number of students who need intensive support?"

The Plan

1

Standardize data entry across all 12 buildings

Same platform, same factor definitions, same assessment schedules. Cross-building comparison becomes meaningful.
