NEW CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD RELEASE
In the District, we use the data from the dashboard to inform our practices. Most specifically, we use the data to measure our progress towards our LCAP goals and to evaluate the effectiveness of our action steps aligned to those goals.
To view the Tam District's Dashboard, please use this link. You can view data for individual schools or for the entire District. For more information on any of the dashboard performance areas, scroll to the bottom of the specific "odometer" and click on the "view more details" button.
