In$ite Reporting
In$ite
Reporting is the new reporting model that will be used by the R.I. Department of Education (RIDE), allowing RIDE to now compare "apples to
apples" between each
district's expenditures. The software also requires each district to break their
expenditures
down to the school level. The In$ite software is also being used by more than
half
of the states in the United States. This allows RIDE to compare our expenditures to that
of another state or several states. To view our In$ite expenditure reports, click here on
In$ite
or on the In$ite
tab above and it will take you to the Pawtucket School Department's expenditure reports
on
the
R.I. Department of Education's web site. Click here to get a
further
explanation of what In$ite
Reporting is all about.
