Los Angeles Unified School District Data Quality Improvement

This document is a case study detailing the implementation of Elevate Data Quality by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to enhance their data quality program. The district, which serves approximately 600,000 students, faced significant challenges with manual data reporting processes that led to inaccuracies and discrepancies across multiple systems. The case study outlines how LAUSD transitioned to a centralized student information system (SIS) and adopted Elevate Data Quality to automate data validation processes. This solution enabled the district to generate bi-weekly error reports, significantly reducing the time spent on manual data entry and error correction. The document describes the collaboration between various departments within LAUSD to address these challenges and highlights the improvements in data accuracy and efficiency achieved through the new system. The case study concludes with insights into the potential for further expansion of the data quality program, showcasing the district's commitment to maximizing data integrity for better student outcomes.
