Case Study: Los Angeles Unified School District compresses after-school reporting with Cityspan

Los Angeles Unified School District Compresses After School Reporting from Months to Minutes

Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) needed a better way to manage after-school program data across more than 500 schools and 30 nonprofit partner agencies. Using manual spreadsheets and copy-paste processes, the district struggled with slow validations, inconsistent attendance allocation, and reporting delays that made compliance and funding maintenance difficult. Cityspan helped LAUSD shift the data burden from staff to a platform.

Cityspan implemented an automated data management solution with flexible entry options for large agencies that could upload files and smaller providers that could use online forms. The platform also built in validation and attendance allocation rules to improve accuracy and compliance. As a result, LAUSD reduced data submission and correction time from months to minutes, improved reporting accuracy, and strengthened its ability to secure renewed funding.
