We're looking forward to connecting with districts across Arizona at the conference! Stop by booth 72 to put our newest product to the test — ask a student-data question on the spot and see what kind of insights Connect AI has to offer your team.

Today we're launching Connect AI — and we built it because educators keep telling us the same thing: "The data is there. We just don't have time to use it."

Connect AI is a built-in Digital Analyst that turns your district's attendance, behavior, and academic data into clear answers in plain English — in seconds. Whether you're a superintendent heading into a board meeting, a school psychologist building an IEP, or a teacher trying to figure out who needs you most, you get the full picture fast.

And when you find the students who need support? You can convert that result directly into a trackable MTSS intervention group in one step. No other platform does this.

Stop by and see how your district can uncover savings + build a stronger financial story.

Rolling out a new data visualization tool shouldn't feel like a marathon. DeKalb CUSD needed a platform that building leaders could actually use without the burden of heavy lifting from IT.

The result? An implementation that was "faster than any arrangement" they had previously experienced.

Standing at the Edge: Navigating the 2026/27 Fiscal Cliff | Webinar Join us on Tuesday, April 16th at 10 AM ET for our next webinar: Standing at the Edge: Navigating the 2026/2027 "Fiscal Cliff"

Post-ESSER budgets are tightening—and the 2026–27 fiscal cliff is here.

With staffing making up nearly 80% of district budgets, the loss of one-time funding puts both student outcomes and safety at risk.

It’s time to move beyond spreadsheets, and into strategy.

At SchoolData, we help Finance Directors shift from across-the-board cuts to Strategic Right-Sizing.

• Identify Savings: Find up to 7% in hidden efficiencies
