Recently our school district had a student who transitioned to virtual learning to finish out his junior year. He transferred to a new school for his senior year, and in theory, his grades, credits and test scores should have seamlessly transitioned with him. However, because we had so many pieces of his data living in multiple locations, his credits didn’t follow him appropriately — an issue no one realized until he was well into his senior year.
Together with his new school, we were eventually able to remedy the situation, and he graduated. But unfortunately, he missed out on every one of his senior year celebratory activities. Had all of his student data been centrally located on a single platform, this never would have happened.
