Mandated reports and data submissions

This is an item coming through from the Framingham School Committee
Perda: "as demands for school districts to account for use of state and federal dollars have grown; there's a need for this; you begin to wonder how is this going to be use, is this really necessary? or is this just a program officer saying 'we're data driven'"
opportunities connected with grants management
research department and questionnaires that they send out to administrations and schools, sometimes with overlapping information
"not much thought on the burden of schools staff"
"what do we really need to collect?"
"I think would be well served"
O'Connell: this will be on the agenda for the November meeting of delegates of Mass Association of School Committee
motion that we recommend that our delegate vote in favor of this at the November meeting
