~-Improving the Content of our Data
-What information is not presented on our website that would be useful to those viewing our site (consider each of our audience groups: children/students, researchers/journalists, general public)? How could we connect it to the data that we already have?
-What modifications should be made to the current data on our site? What other information would be useful for a resource in addition to what we already provide? Is there any information we do provide that you don't feel is necessary, useful, or worth our time? How can we make the data we have more accurate and reliable?

~-Improving the Data Collection Process
-What modifications should be made to each phase of performing these database updates: Finding the Data, Collecting the Data, Entering the Data, and Checking the Data? How can we make it easier and make more efficient use of your time while still ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the information?
-If you are entering information using Admin: what changes can be made to admin to make entering the data easier, quicker, or reduce error?
-How might we better track the progress of this task?
-How can we make sure our information remains up-to-date in between full updates?

~-Improving Our Website
-How can we improve the appearance of this data on our website? How else might we present the data? How can we make it prettier? How can we make it easier to navigate? How might we change it to be more appropriate and appealing to each of our audience groups (children/students, researchers/journalists, general public)? What sort of multimedia might we integrate with the data we are presenting (graphics, videos, maps, graphs, audio, etc.)?
-How might we connect this data to other data on our website to make both more useful? Is there a better location for this data on our website, using our current categories? If we were starting our website over from scratch, under what category might you put this data? Would it be appropriate for this data to appear when doing a zip-to-district search?
-What is a blurb we might use to describe this data section on our website? This blurb should convey the values of our organization: that we are nonpartisan, independent, objective, reputable, and thorough. It should describe both the data and the data collection process. The blurb should be as succinct as possible, and should be appropriate for each of our audience groups (children/students, researchers/journalists, general public).
