Performance Analytics Solutions for Schools in Michigan

Performance analytics solutions for schools in Michigan are rapidly maturing—both from a standpoint of what school districts need and are discovering is now possible, as well as from the standpoint of what software can actually achieve in terms of insights and intelligence.

School districts have been managing increased transparency and compliance mandates for years, and those obligations and opportunities have only grown in scope and scale with the availability of additional federal stimulus dollars earmarked for education and technology upgrades. The recent stimulus funding presents an opportunity for educators and administrators to easily integrate performance analytics solutions for schools in Michigan that create a district-wide “culture of data literacy.” 

In doing so, administrators at schools in Michigan will need to  think differently about capital improvement planning and infrastructure spending, and they will need a strategic way to prioritize projects, identify funding sources and analyze performance.

Munetrix Provides Live, Interactive Map of Coronavirus Cases to Any Government Agency at No Cost

Free Embed Code Allows Governments to Provide Visualized Map for Any Website

Munetrix, a data analytics solutions provider serving municipalities and public school districts, has developed and launched a visualized map that renders live coronavirus cases data by county, and is making the map available to any municipality, county or government agency that wishes to embed it on its own website.

The Michigan Association of Counties was the first such organization to embed the map on its home page, and since then, more than ten others have embedded the map, including regional councils of government, counties, cities and more, representing more than 5,000 cumulative user views of the map in total as of April 13th.

The interactive map visualizes various data in a live, interactive and scalable manner, with various ways to render the most recently reported government data, including the number of cases, the number of deaths, as well as cases and deaths per 100,000 population, which is sortable by county, council of government and other geographic criteria, as set by the user.

“Access to updated, actionable information is critical right now, both for governments and the constituents they serve,” said Bob Kittle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Munetrix. “It’s vital that the data be visualized, easily understood and widely accessible, as leaders, administrators, health departments and the general public alike make critical and, oftentimes, life-or-death decisions during this COVID-19 pandemic.

“We felt, as a data visualization company, it was our duty to do whatever our technology would allow to deliver that intelligence to those who need it, and to make it easy for anyone to display, use and understand,” he added.

Munetrix will provide a copy-and-paste embed code at no cost to any agency or government entity that would like to display the map on its own website. Simply contact Munetrix or the Michigan Association of Counties to submit a request.
