None of your LDOE areas of responsibility involve data analysis or the creation of dashboards. Additionally, you do not have access to platforms such as Tableau or Power BI on your agency laptop. Second, the criteria identified in the School System Planning Guide are determined by other offices. You are merely the collector of those criteria for inclusion in the guide. You do not have influence over what may or may not be asked of school systems in the future.
