6.O. Consider/Approve Teacher Data Portal Waiver Presenter: Julie Cronkhite Description: Strategic Priority 1: Maximize Academic Success Background: Comal ISD currently uses Eduphoria AWARE as our local student data system. Aware provides more functionality than the state data portal for teachers as well as administrators. In addition, Aware, through a partnership with lead4ward, provides enhanced data tools for data analysis and accountability that are used by the Teaching, Learning and Leadership team to inform administrators about student outcomes. Eduphoria Aware meets all of the required criteria for a local student data system as set forth by TEA. Recommendation : Due to the upcoming expiration of the currently approved Teacher Data Portal Waiver, it is the recommendation of the Superintendent that the Board of Trustees approve of the district filing to renew the Teacher Data Portal Waiver for the 2026-2027, 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 school years.
