Who it’s for

One system. Everyone sees exactly what their job allows.

The same product for your superintendent and your seventh-grade math teacher. What changes is what each one is allowed to see.

Superintendent

You have eleven minutes before cabinet. Ask the question.

The job isn’t short on information. It’s short on the ten minutes between a question and an answer you can defend.

  • “How are we doing?”, and then “why?”, and then “where?”, in the same conversation, without a data request.
  • Progress against every LCAP goal, with the actual midyear number next to the target you published.
  • A board item drafted from the analysis, with the math and the sources attached, ready for your chief of staff to edit.
  • An honest answer when the evidence is thin, instead of a confident paragraph.

Bring one question you can’t get answered

Tuesday, 7:40 AMDRSuperintendent

“Board wants to know why Grade 6 math slipped. Give me the honest version.”


Calculation

Grade 6 declined 5.2 points at three of five middle schools. The other two grew.

Reading of the data

The three declining sites had 4 of 11 math sections covered by long-term substitutes for 30+ days, and Grade 6 chronic absence 9.1 points above district.

Unknown

Whether curriculum implementation differed. Walkthrough data isn’t connected yet. I can’t tell you, so I won’t.

Worth a visit: Willow Creek and Rio Vista both moved to a common intervention block in August. Alder Park has the same demographics and didn’t.

Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services

Find the practice that’s working before the year is over.

Somewhere in your district, a site is doing something that works. The trouble is finding it while it can still be spread.

  • Compare sites against demographically similar peers inside your own district, not against a state average.
  • Trace a Dashboard color change to the status and change measures that produced it.
  • Test an equity question directly, who is ready for a course and not placed in it, and where the gap concentrates.
  • Pull the evidence and the policy for your next principals’ meeting in one pass.

Principals & site leaders

The Monday list, without the Sunday spreadsheet.

Attendance, grades, assessment and intervention history in one place, scoped to your school. Your thresholds are already applied, so the list is the one to act on.

  • Students who crossed a threshold this week, with the specific policy trigger named.
  • Which of your interventions are actually being delivered, and to whom.
  • Master schedule questions answered against real section counts, not a guess.
  • A drafted family outreach in the family’s language, ready for you to read and send.

Devon M. passed your chronic-absence line on Thursday.

Amara T. is carrying a D or F in two courses for the first time.

Not delivered3 of 8 sessions

Lucía R. is assigned to a reading intervention that mostly isn’t happening.


Not on the list

Twenty-two students a raw absence count would have flagged, who aren’t past the line your board actually adopted. Your threshold is what makes the list short enough to act on.

Counselors & student services

Caseload-scoped views, MTSS documentation surfaced in seconds instead of hunted for, and intervention history that follows a student across sites. For special education, Quilt checks an IEP draft against the required elements and the 60-day clock before the meeting. High-stakes determinations (eligibility, placement, services) stay with the team.

Teachers

Standard-level mastery for their sections, the district’s approved instructional resources for the gap, and a starting point for next week’s reteach. Instructional data only. A teacher never sees a student’s record outside the relationship that justifies it.

Technology

One place to connect instead of a growing pile of point tools, an access log your team actually controls, SSO and SCIM from day one, and a vendor that expects your security review rather than flinching at it.

Business services & human resources

Connect the budget conversation to the instructional one.

Enrollment, ADA and staffing get discussed in a different meeting than student outcomes. They are the same story, and you can finally see both halves at once.

  • Enrollment and ADA trend by site and grade span, with the funding consequence attached.
  • Where vacancies and long-term substitute coverage concentrate, and what happened to outcomes in those sections.
  • Unduplicated pupil count movement and what it means for supplemental and concentration funding.
  • Position control questions answered without three exports and a reconciliation.
A boundary worth naming, employee performance is on the restricted list. Quilt will answer operational and staffing questions. It won’t evaluate a person or produce a personnel recommendation.
Staffing and outcomes, one question

“Where is our substitute coverage costing us instruction?”


SiteOn a long-term subMath growth there
Kern MS4 of 11 sections−5.2
Oak Ridge MS3 of 9 sections−4.4
Summit MS0 of 10 sections+2.3
Reading of the data

Coverage and growth move together here. That’s a pattern worth investigating, not a cause, and Quilt says so rather than implying more.


The coverage column comes from position control. The growth column comes from your assessment vendor. Joining them by hand is an afternoon of exports, so it happens once a year instead of every month.

Special education

Walk into the meeting with the draft already checked.

A case manager carrying forty students holds every element and every timeline in their head, while teaching. The paperwork isn’t the job, but it is what you get audited on.

  • Every required element checked against Ed Code before the meeting, with the section cited.
  • Present levels assembled from the assessment records your district already has.
  • Goals without a baseline flagged while there’s still time to fix them.
  • The 60-day clock tracked from the record, not a spreadsheet somebody maintains.
Eligibility, services and placement are never Quilt’s call. It checks the document and surfaces the evidence. The IEP team decides and signs.

Goal 2 has no baseline, so there’s nothing to measure a year of progress against.

Transition has to be in the IEP that’s in effect when the student turns sixteen.


A forms check confirms the box was filled. Quilt reads what’s in the box, and cites the section it’s reading against.

The team writes the goals, sets the services and signs, every time.

Reclassification · window closes Mar 14

“Who is one box away from reclassifying?”


Your four criteria, run

41 students meet all four and are ready today. 12 meet exactly three.

Three of fourmissing: teacher evaluation

Tuan N. has the ELPAC score, the grades and the parent consultation. The form was never submitted.

Three of fourmissing: parent consultation

Ana L. is waiting on a meeting nobody has scheduled.

Three of fourbasic skills · 2 points short

Sofía M. is genuinely short of your local cut score.


Two of those three are missing a form, not a skill. Without the join, all twelve look the same from a spreadsheet, and they wait another year.

Multilingual services

Find the students one form away from reclassifying.

The data to run it correctly already sits in three systems. What’s missing is the hour nobody has to join them before the deadline.

  • Your board’s four criteria run against every student, every window.
  • Near-misses surfaced rather than hidden, so you know who is one box away.
  • Long-term English learners named by year designated, with their course access alongside.
  • Family letters drafted in the language on file, for a person to read and send.

Agentic workflows

Work that runs itself, and stops for a person.

As your district turns capabilities on, Quilt can run recurring work. Every one of these ends at a person, by design.

  2. Compute the actualFrom the same records the state will see, using your definitions.
  3. Flag the gap earlyTargets you are on track to miss, while the year can still change.

Board preparation

You walk in knowing what a trustee will ask, and the answer.

  1. Assemble the evidenceDistrict metrics, board policy, prior packets, state data, public research.
  2. Anticipate the questionsWhat a trustee is likely to ask, with the answer and its source.
  3. Draft the itemWith the math, the sources and the limits attached.
  4. Hand it to your teamWho edits, approves and presents it.

Beyond the chat box

Something you can put in front of a board.

A superintendent asking for district math performance doesn’t want six paragraphs. They want something they can put in front of a board.

You get finished work alongside the conversation, a performance review with charts, a site-by-site breakdown, a draft improvement plan, a set of slides. Each one arrives with its method and sources attached, ready for your team to edit.
