Case Study: Sunnyside Unified School District achieves real-time data access and data-driven decisions with Tyler Technologies' Tyler Pulse

Partnership Built on Mutual Respect and Trust Delivers Results

Sunnyside Unified School District (Tucson, AZ) is a tech‑savvy district of 22 schools serving more than 17,800 students. Despite a strong focus on student achievement, administrators struggled with fragmented data — staff had to pull information from a dozen-plus systems — which made it hard to get real‑time, comprehensive student and school profiles needed for timely decisions and interventions.

Working with long‑time partner Tyler Technologies, Sunnyside implemented Tyler Pulse, building a centralized information warehouse, customizable dashboards and ready‑to‑use reports. A district rollout that included a “Tyler Titans” training team and Top‑10 report guides delivered faster, more accurate access to data, increased district and teacher data literacy, and enabled more timely, data‑driven interventions and strategic planning.
