Case Study: Los Angeles Unified School District improves compliance and speeds reporting with Cityspan

Los Angeles Unified School District cuts data validation from 3 months to 5 minutes with Cityspan

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) faced a significant data management challenge after becoming the largest recipient of Prop 49 funding for after-school programs. Manual processes, including the exchange of Excel spreadsheets and visual data validation, led to errors and delays of months in reporting. This jeopardized compliance and funding. To manage its programs across 500 schools and 30 nonprofit partners effectively, LAUSD needed a solution to automate data collection and ensure accuracy, leading them to partner with Cityspan.

Cityspan implemented a flexible platform that automated critical processes for LAUSD. It offered dual data entry methods for partners of varying sizes and built-in validation that slashed the data correction cycle from months to just minutes. The solution automated precise attendance allocation to different funding streams, ensuring compliance. As a result, Cityspan's platform secured renewed funding for the district, provided real-time visibility into programs, and fostered closer collaboration with nonprofit providers.
