Case Study: North East Florida Educational Consortium achieves unified data visibility and better student support with Skyward and Ed-Fi

North East Florida Educational Consortium identifies 30 paraprofessionals for teacher certification with Skyward

The North East Florida Educational Consortium (NEFEC) faced a challenge with scattered data across its many member districts. As each district used a variety of apps and software alongside the Skyward School Management Suite, administrators wasted significant time hopping between systems to import and export data, which took focus away from student outcomes and made state reporting difficult.

NEFEC implemented the Ed-Fi data standard, which is integrated with Skyward's certified system, to consolidate data into a single hub. This solution provided a complete, real-time picture of student, staff, and financial data, enabling data-driven decisions and personalized instruction. A key measurable result was the identification of 30 paraprofessionals who qualified for a special program to become certified teachers, directly addressing a critical teacher shortage.
