NAPERVILLE, Ill.

“We are honored to have this opportunity to work with The Council to serve New York State schools,” said Forecast5President and CEO Mike English. “In partnership with their staff and leadership team, we will be able to deliver meaningful and actionable analytics to assist New York State school districts with their resource decisions. Forecast5 data technologies are providing schools with a wide field of view, new financial perspectives, and opportunities to collaborate with peers.”

Executive Director of the New York State Council of School Superintendents, Dr. Robert Reidy, Jr., spoke about the ways his members will benefit from the partnership. “The data analytics and tools developed by Forecast5 Analytics are the most powerful and user friendly I have seen in my 40+ years in education.
