Bloomingdale School District 13

Jon Bartelt, Superintendent of Bloomingdale School District 13, talks about how Frontline Analytics (formerly Forecast5) helped his team gain insights into their data, develop more accurate budget projections, and communicate their story more effectively to their Board of Education.

Challenge Bloomingdale School District 13

The Challenge:

When Jon Bartelt joined Illinois’ Bloomingdale School District 13 as Superintendent in 2012, he found plenty of data being collected for the state, but no easy way to analyze it for the betterment of Bloomingdale’s schools.

 

Solution Bloomingdale School District 13

The Solution:

Bartelt knew that important insights were hidden in that data, and that it was essential that he and his leadership team find a way to analyze it and share it with the Board of Education.

In his words, “Every Board wants to know comparative data. They want to know how they stack up against their neighbors, other schools of similar and shape.”

So, together with the district’s Director of Finance, Bartelt discovered Frontline Analytics (formerly Forecast5), software specifically built for K-12 analytics that could easily sift through collected data and surface next steps for leaders in education.

I saw the potential immediately.”

Results Bloomingdale School District 13

The Results:

With Frontline Analytics (formerly Forecast5), Bartelt and his team were able to:

  • Build targeted initiatives based on data-backed insights
  • Develop accurate budget projections for up to five years
  • Communicate strategic decisions in easy-to-understand, colorful graphics

Frontline Analytics (formerly Forecast5) can help turn data into insights and insights into action as an essential tool in the quest for better.

I almost think it’s essential in the field of school business that you harness these tools, make them your own, experiment with them, and take time to use them, if not daily, then at least weekly, so that you’re harnessing and learning and shaping yourself as a leader and as a presenter.”
