Abstract | This paper describes the first-year results of Distributive Information Systems for Campuses (DISC), a project implemented in the Austin Independent School District (Texas). The goal was to increase the data access and information-generating capabilities of campuses by decentralizing data manipulation functions, while maintaining centralized data processing of major applications. A second project goal was to redesign student, school, and district profiles by consolidating reports into a single, comprehensive report, creating a permanent, online data file. Major outcomes include: (1) design and creation of a new school profile; (2) resolution of a number of issues involving the creation of a large data file and printing a profile report; (3) implementation of an individual student profile; and (4) provision of some simple applications to schools. Additional progress needs to be made in the areas of providing campus staff training, increasing the hardware on campus, identifying software that campuses can use, and arranging for support personnel. Five figures are included. Attachments include sample profiles, specifications, and a file format for Megafile. (LMI) |
