The Vendor is required to provide a statewide data management system will consolidate and integrate the many major and minor data systems, resulting in breaking down siloes, integrating data across domains, and making it easier to maintain and reference.
 - Implementation of a statewide data management system which includes all tools and technologies, system architecture, data inventory, data mapping, data collection, data validation, data integration, data migration, configuration and workflows, reporting, testing, launch, and monitoring; reporting includes the development of data visualizations/dashboards built on an artificial intelligence (AI) optimized system architecture utilizing traditional and AI driven techniques.
- The system will support educational initiatives and facilitate department decision-making through accessible data; the successful implementation of the data management system will enable the agency and educational partners to effectively manage, analyze, and utilize educational data to support evidence-based decision-making, improve educational outcomes, and promote transparency in the education system.
- Agency mission is to improve student achievement and educator effectiveness by ensuring opportunities, facilitating learning, and promoting excellence; this is accomplished through the work of three major divisions: the educator effectiveness and family engagement division, the student investment division, and the student achievement division.
- The system will simplify processes by eliminating labor-intensive and time consuming manual work – much of which is currently accomplished with spreadsheets, eliminating redundancies, and reducing errors; reporting will be modernized as the system will be built on a cloud-based, optimized data architecture, and equipped with tools to generate measures utilizing traditional and based techniques.
- This strategy will provide the capacity to upgrade the current suite of fragmented and static dashboards into more dynamic and compact versions.
- Furthermore, the project will create opportunities for agency to augment its current data management framework, develop an agency-wide data strategy, and align new and updated documents with standards maintained by the Office of Division Compliance.
- Performance, Accountability and Reporting (PAR):
• The system will consolidate educational reporting requirements and local) to support statewide accountability goals and objectives.
• The system will support a dynamic reporting capability making it possible to incorporate any new reporting elements at any time.
• The system will collect, manage, and report longitudinal educational data for educators, administrators, and legislators to make real-time decisions for the State education systems.
• Reports will be prepared at the State level, district level, and in some cases, the individual school level.
- Fiscal data collection and reporting:
• A collection and reporting component of the data management system must include a process by which all funds provided by the Department to districts are accounted for and all expenditures by districts are tracked. The requirement of the CSF is to have access to accurate data and information on funds that are spent.  
•The system will provide an alignment of financial activity to educational programs and student outcomes within the services and programs identified by the project executive steering committee through strategic data planning, and identification of requirements for the calculation and reporting of ROI measures.
•The system will provide an alignment of the financial activity of school districts and charter schools within the state.
- Research and analysis on data collection and reporting system methodologies:
• The system must provide a long-term solution for a comprehensive data collection, repository, and reporting.
• The system must emphasize data collection, analysis and reporting, specifically on ROI measures.
• The system must provide user-friendly interfaces for education partners to provide detailed district financial information on all district expenditures using Department funds. These should be provided in the form of data dashboards and visualizations.
• The system must provide Department staff with all data and information processed by the Department including program data, financial data, and mandated report data.
• The system should support an online public facing information reporting system for public access and use, providing district, school and charter school level performance information, and promoting district and school level transparency to the public.
• The system will need to include and/or provide the data for any existing state required reporting such as, but not limited to, detailed reports of district expenditures of Department allocated funds, annual financial reporting (NRS 387 and 388), ending fund balance, future CSF accountability reporting (quarterly), Class Size Reduction (CSR) reporting, and teacher vacancy reporting along with others to be determined.
• The system will be required to generate Federal level reporting to include, but not limited to, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Federal grant reporting, and NPEF F-33.
• Local reporting requirements such as school-level ending fund balance and the NRS 387.12468 reporting (district and school levels) that can be extracted from the systems data will be required.
• Additionally, the system must support local district and school level performance reporting as required.
