The Council of the Great City School's "Managing for Results Project" is designed to develop measures in financial and operational areas that can be compared “apples-to-apples” across the country; benchmark district performance in these areas to see how districts compare to each other; and inventory effective management practices used by top performers so others can use them when applicable and viable to do so. The Council believes that there are significant potential benefits to its members and other large school districts if standards for management and financial performance were developed and recognized.
Using the ActPoint decision-tree application, Michigan school administrators have unlimited access to an automated, self-service system which will accurately diagnose, analyze and prescribe specific action steps for most Michigan Merit Curriculum Personal Curriculum options as prescribed by the legislature. The ActPoint system will reduce cycle time (time to get to a decision), clarify processes, and create uniform application of the PC throughout the state.
