Chicago Public Schools Data Transparency
Stakeholder Advisory Group
Chicago Public Schools/Kids First Chicago | Cook County, IL
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) engaged over 21,000 stakeholders from 2021-2024 to shape a new school performance policy as part of the Accountability Redesign Initiative.
Project Details
A 30-person Data Transparency Stakeholder Advisory Group will meet 1-2 times a month for the next two years to ensure that the 25 recommended performance indicators are accessible and actionable for all CPS stakeholders. The committee will be diverse, representing the community, including those negatively impacted by past policies.
What we were hoping to accomplish: CPS is creating visualizations of 25 school performance data indicators and is committed to ensuring that CPS parents, staff, and community stakeholders can actually use the data to positively impact student outcomes. Without stakeholder input, we risk having data that is not usable by the people it is designed to serve.
