Tyler Pulse for SchoolmasterExtend the power of Schoolmaster to the desktops of district administrators! Tyler Pulse for Schoolmaster is an online tool that helps administrators make sound data-driven decisions by viewing critical data in an easy-to-use .Net graphical user interface. Tyler Pulse is configurable to meet the needs of your district and can also be populated with data from 3rd-party solutions to enhance the correlation of data. Scenario: Imported data from Schoolmaster shows a group of students that have a history (2+ years) of under-performing on standardized tests. The sampling shows a wide range of grade levels and ethnicities. By enhancing Tyler Pulse with additional data from your transportation solutions (e.g., VersaTrans), administrators are now able to see that this group of students all ride on the same bus route which services several bus stops at the furthest end of the valley. The children get on the bus at times between 5:30 and 6:30 am and end up being on the bus for over 90 minutes. An additional look at Schoolmaster data in Tyler Pulse also shows that over 70% of the students have Free and Reduced Lunch status. This group of students are not only tired after getting up before 5:30 am and riding on a bus for 90+ minutes, but there is a high probability that they arrive at school tired and hungry and then are asked to take a test. One solution might be to add an additional bus (or route) to reduce the amount of time these students spend on the bus. Perhaps the start-time of the tests should be pushed back a bit later in the day to allow the children time to eat lunch. Regardless of what the best solution is, decision makers now have an easy-to-use way of viewing data from various perspectives as they strive to make the best possible decisions.
