The Tennessee Comptroller's TISA dashboard is set to revolutionize how funding is viewed across the state’s K-12 education system. This innovative tool highlights the Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement (TISA), the state's funding formula designed to enhance educational resources.

During a recent government meeting, officials introduced the dashboard, emphasizing its user-friendly features. Users can easily select a district from a dropdown menu to access detailed funding information, including base, weighted, direct, and outcomes funding. This transparency allows stakeholders to see the total funding generated by each district, alongside required local matches and state contributions.

The dashboard is structured to provide comprehensive insights. The first page displays base funding calculated by average daily membership, while additional pages reveal funding weights for specific student populations and direct allocations that support opportunities beyond traditional classroom instruction. Notably, outcomes funding is also included, rewarding districts based on student academic performance.

The Comptroller's office encourages users to explore the TISA landing page for further resources, including reports and infographics that enhance understanding of the funding landscape. This initiative marks a significant step towards greater accountability and support for Tennessee's educational institutions, promising to empower districts with the information they need to optimize student achievement.
