Dallas ISD Annual Racial Equity Spreadsheet History Missing

Wonderful progress is anticipated in racial equity due to the strong changes in keeping Dallas ISD Magnets first for Dallas students. These changes were covered in the Dallas Morning News on 8-1-19 in the article titled "Here's Dallas ISD's new plan to stop suburban cheaters from stealing magnet school spots."

This is a major move toward racial equity.  Now for DISD to release decades worth of annual racial equity spreadsheets.

Each spreadsheet would cover one school year's worth of data for Dallas ISD schools.  The base for each spreadsheet would be the School Information File format found in the Dallas ISD Data Portal. See https://mydata.dallasisd.org/SL/Master_Ref.jsp

It would expand this demographic and achievement information for each school in a row for each school.  It would add many more variables including the 32 financial variables per school showing moneys allocated by school as reported in the PEIMS Financial Reports.

A decade of such reports will expose massive supplantation of resoures away from high poverty minority schools inside Dallas ISD. Such transparency would allow DISD to develop a truly effective data-driven Racial Equity Program!  Dallas would lead the nation!


Justin Henry and Ben Mackey, could you help such annual Racial Equity Spreadsheets, covering each year of the past decade, to be made public?  We need such a foundation for a truly data-driven racial equity program within Dallas ISD.
