By preparing reports before the school year begins, the team transforms their student success system into a proactive alert engine by establishing which data are needed to identify student needs early, alert appropriate staff, and provide and monitor interventions to drive on-time graduation for their students. This process requires a technical infrastructure capable of integrating diverse data sources into automated, role-appropriate visualizations like heat maps and on-track dashboards. By using the Optimal Infrastructure Checklist, teams can move beyond static data pulls to automated workflows that flag students approaching intervention thresholds and trigger real-time alerts for appropriate staff.
