 \nThe School Spending & Outcomes Snapshot (SSOS) allows users to view and print data visualizations to explore spending and outcomes data to:  \n• Foster thoughtful conversations to improve equity and outcomes in school communities  \n• Allow stakeholders at all levels to access educational financial and outcomes data  \n• Drive school improvement  \n• Answer important questions, such as:  \n› “Is my school leveraging dollars to do the most for students?”  \n› “How equitable is a particular district’s allocation method?”  \nWhat does the evidence say?  \nMost district leaders are not yet interacting with school-by-school financial data in a systematic and meaningful way.  \nVisualizations of financial and outcome data can help leaders effectively focus on districtwide trends and make any needed changes.  \nDistrict leaders need access to valid and reliable information to better understand how to leverage dollars for student outcomes.  \nTo support stakeholders in accessing multiple important  \nvisualizations of financial and student outcomes data, the SSOS allows users to display data in five different ways:  \nSpending and outcomes data compared across all schools in a district  \nSpending across  \nall schools in a district  \ncolor coded by the number of economically disadvantaged  \nstudents  \nSpending and outcomes data compared by the highest poverty elementary schools in a district to similarly highpoverty peersin the same  \nstate  \nSpending and outcomes data of all high schools ina district compared to others in the  \nsame state  \nSpending and math outcomes of middle schools in a district compared to others the same state  \nThe SSOS is most successful when it is used with an open mind and a willingness to engage in difficult conversations about student outcomes and how they relate to the distribution of resources.  \nExamples  \nThe SSOS is being used successfully when:  \n• Stakeholders examine spending patterns and compare spending with outcomes to see what trends exist.  \n• SSOS data is used to start conversations at the school-and district-level about equitable distribution of resources and how spending patterns may be related to performance.  \n• School and district leaders use the data visualizations to consider changing or adding policies and practices that can help them leverage spending to improve student outcomes.  \nWhat innovative models exist?  \nHere’s what people are saying about the SSOS…  \n“One of the benefits of the visualization tool is to answer questions about ROI [return on investment] . That is something that is often elusive to us in education  it’s a good question and something that is relevant to the work that we do.” – Dr. Omar Riaz, Assistant Superintendent, Assessment, Research, and Data Analysis, Miami-Dade Public Schools  \n“This was golden. It broke down every school, for me, to go back and have a more effective conversation with the district on how to address those issues that were of concern to my African American/Black Parent Advisory Committee.” – Thaddeus Smith, Stockton Unified School District African American/Black Parent Advisory Committee  \n“Really taking a deep dive into how we make funding decisions based on student outcomes. I don’t think that [approach] was utilized in the past.” – Laurie Matzke, Assistant Superintendent, North Dakota Department of Public Instruction  \nHow are efforts funded?  \nThe SSOS is completely free to use and can be accessed through the Comprehensive Center Network website and downloaded here.  \nFor more information and helpful resources, visit [https://compcenternetwork.org/](https://compcenternetwork.org/)  \nGet Smart Fast: Using the School Spending & Outcomes Snapshot to Drive School Improvements June 2024•| 2","cbCail9HIb0mcibE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail9HIb0mcibE","pdf",202171,"English","# Why does this topic matter?\n# What does the evidence say?\n# How is the SSOS used and what visualizations are offered?\n# Examples of effective SSOS use\n# What innovative models exist?\n# How are efforts funded?","[{\"question\":\"What is the School Spending \\u0026 Outcomes Snapshot (SSOS) used for?\",\"answer\":\"SSOS lets users view and print data visualizations that link spending and student outcomes, supporting conversations and decision-making aimed at improving equity and performance.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges does the document note about district leaders’ use of financial data?\",\"answer\":\"Most district leaders are not yet interacting with school-by-school financial data in a systematic and meaningful way, limiting their ability to interpret how dollars relate to outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of visualizations does SSOS provide?\",\"answer\":\"SSOS presents five different ways to display spending and outcomes, including comparisons across schools in a district and breakdowns by poverty level and grade bands (elementary, middle, and high schools).\"},{\"question\":\"How can educators access SSOS and related resources?\",\"answer\":\"SSOS is free to use and can be accessed through the Comprehensive Center Network website, where additional helpful resources are also available.\"}]","Get Smart Fast: Using the School Spending & Outcomes Snapshot to Drive School Improvements | PDF",1792056622]
