District Leaders
What if data had the power to transform the future of a Title 1 district? For Hamilton County Schools, a cultural shift toward data-driven decision-making led to a nearly full letter grade improvement on their state accountability report. Join Chris Combass, Director of Teaching & Learning Services at Hamilton County Schools, and Chris Hull, Co-Founder and President of Otus, as they share how Hamilton built a data-driven culture, addressed chronic absenteeism and subgroup trends, and reshaped programming to better meet student needs. Plus, you’ll hear about the future of data and progress monitoring at Hamilton and the role AI will play.
