WISEdash Public Portal: Fix to Attendance, Absenteeism Dashboard
Previously on the Attendance, Absenteeism Dashboard, the system displayed data for line items with a student count of zero, leading to an overly aggressive redaction. To align with other dashboards and to fix the redaction issue, we have removed the grouping where the student count was zero.
WISEdash Public Portal: Enhancement to Digital Equity Dashboard
The graphic for the Digital Equity Dashboard will now display the most current information for Public School Students Who Have Responded (of Students Enrolled). The dashboard will update as soon as enrollment counts are available; enrollment numbers captured during the December snapshot take some time to update. NOTE: The term Digital Equity is being deprecated and replaced by the term Digital Opportunity Gap. The updated terminology is live on DPI webpages and will be aligned on all DPI resources by July 1, 2025.

WISEdash for Districts: Updates to Assessment Data
As Forward recently went through a standards setting, we needed to temporarily disable the “benchmarks” graphic in the STAR area for the latest year’s data as this is based on old Forward standards. DPI is working with Renaissance to update these standards, and we will, again, provide this graphic once the standards have been updated.
WISEdash for Districts: New ACCESS Dashboard
WISEdash for Districts now has a new dashboard called, “ACCESS Current and Former EL.” This dashboard displays the list of all enrolled current and former EL students. When Users drill into this dashboard, they see the year and test scores of the most recent ACCESS test. This dashboard will be very helpful to LEAs resolving validation errors for ACCESS scores and corresponding ELP codes. This WISEdash feature was a request from the WISEdash Advisory Group, made up of key users from our school districts.
WISEdash for Districts: Bug Fix
A bug fix was done in two of the data quality indicators (DQI’s) in the Year End Completion Snapshot Dashboard. The bug was causing two of the DQI’s to display errors when the dashboard was displaying by School Type or School. This has been fixed.
