Case Study: Chicago Public Schools improves out-of-school-time program tracking with Cityspan

Chicago Public Schools centralizes OST tracking for 100,000 students with Cityspan

Chicago Public Schools faced the challenge of manually tracking out-of-school-time programs for over 100,000 students across 600 schools. Their existing spreadsheets were inefficient, and federal privacy laws prevented them from sharing necessary student data with their nonprofit partners. They partnered with Cityspan to create a new cloud-based data system to solve this.

Cityspan developed an online platform that integrated with the district's systems, enabling secure, role-based data sharing and comprehensive program tracking. This solution streamlined data collection, reduced the time teachers spent on assessments, and provided greater transparency. The system successfully centralized management for over 100,000 students and improved compliance with complex funding requirements.
