This year the Utah State Board of Education is requesting $22.9 million for
a modernization effort, to be implemented by employees and contractors.
The state school board is saying they want to collect student, teacher, and
financial data from local school districts and charter schools, to upload
it into their data warehouse, and provide summary reports for various
purposes.
In regard to student data, they currently collect 16 XML objects that cover
the basics (student records, school enrollments, attendance, courses, and
major discipline incidents if any).
They haven't disclosed the number of tables or views that they plan on
implementing in their data warehouse. My estimate would be 75-100 tables
and 200-300 views.
We recently implemented a similarly scoped project for about $300K,
including a web portal, interactive web applications, reports, interfaces
with 3rd party student and finance systems. I'm having difficulty
imagining why they're asking for $23 million?
What does it take to modernize a system of that size? Any thoughts?
