<br>The San Francisco Unified School District is trying to make its way through the data maze. For years, much of the school system’s data on attendance, academic performance, and student behavior has been stuck in silos, where few teachers and administrators could access it, much less make practical use of it. Now, San Francisco district officials have set out to end those disconnects through the pursuit of “interoperability,” a strategy for making data more useful and accessible—and a driver of classroom improvements, rather than an impediment.

<br>Every Halloween for the last 17 years, Monica Lun has made Chinese-themed group costumes for her classes to promote inclusion. The idea for making costumes first came when Lun was teaching Chinese to a bilingual kindergarten class that included a lot of immigrant students. She said many of them were unfamiliar with some of the popular Halloween costumes. She added that other students would dress in nicer costumes, which made the class feel less unified.

Thanks to the district's two-pronged approach, SFUSD schools opened this fall with 99 percent of the district's classroom vacancies filled.
