12th largest district in the U.S. completes
implementation of statewide data warehouse upgrade transitioning
from on-site servers to the cloud for enhanced protection
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, today announced the
Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE), has completed
implementation of the latest PowerSchool Unified Insights™ release
to better protect and unify the data of nearly 300 schools’ student
information into one dynamic and up to date platform for enhanced
data-driven decision making. Since implementing the upgrade, HIDOE
has noted increased teacher use and application of education
analytics.
“Completing this upgrade to PowerSchool Unified Insights and
implementing it into our technology stack has transformed our
workflow by providing schools statewide better access to detailed
student information at the tip of their fingers,” said Shane
Hedani, Office of Strategy, Innovation, and Policy, Hawaii State
Department of Education. “The implementation of the Unified
Insights dashboard has changed the way our department uses
longitudinal educational data and has helped schools across the
state make better data-informed decisions.”
HIDOE operates as a single statewide school district and was
able to utilize Unified Insights to successfully unify HIDOE’s data
across its schools by housing student analytics in one centralized
location, to provide stronger data protection and help make better
data-informed decisions. The PowerSchool implementation team
migrated all SIS and assessment data into the cloud environment
configuring it for use with the dashboard, resulting in better
backend function and front end look and feel. While the state had
an existing data warehouse, PowerSchool helped migrate it from
on-premises (hosted on physical servers) to the cloud.
“The Hawaii State Department of Education and each of its
schools can function more cohesively thanks to the implementation
of this dashboard upgrade and migration to the cloud, for
PowerSchool Unified Insights,” said Maulik Datanwala, Chief
Operating Officer, PowerSchool. “Merging the data from 294 schools
into a consolidated and highly functional solution will continue to
provide excellent learning outcomes for students.”
Founded in 1840, the Hawaii State Department of Education is the
only statewide public school district in the country across the
islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kauai. HIDOE is
also considered a state education agency and serves 173,000
students in 294 schools, including 37 charter schools, in 15
complex areas. HIDOE also employs about 13,000 teachers,
librarians, counselors, and over 12,000 educational officers, civil
service, and support personnel at its schools.
