Summary
Capistrano Unified presented an implementation update on a new internal student‑success dashboard (Panorama) that integrates attendance, behavior, academics and social‑emotional data and includes an education‑specific AI tool called Solera; administrators have access now, counselors in spring and teachers expected in the 2026–27 school year.
Capistrano Unified School District staff on Nov. 19 gave trustees an implementation update on a new Panorama Student Success Dashboard that will combine attendance, academics, behavior and social‑emotional measures and provide tools and intervention resources for staff.
Stephanie Rivera, the district’s chief technology officer, said the dashboard gives a “panoramic view” of students and pulls information from the district’s systems so educators can see a single student profile including grades, attendance and social‑emotional measures. Rivera described a library of more than 900 evidence‑based intervention strategies embedded in the platform and highlighted an education‑specific AI tool called Solera, saying, "No data ever leaves the platform. It does not make decisions for us. It just helps us find insights faster and focus time where it matters most, supporting students." The presentation emphasized that the dashboard is for internal use only and that permissioning will limit views by role.
Presenters said administrators have access now; counselors are scheduled to begin training and access in spring, and the district expects teachers to gain access in the 2026–27 school year. Rivera and trustees discussed permissioning, with the district explaining that teachers will only be able to view their own students while site administrators can see their school and district administrators can see district‑level aggregates.
Trustees asked how parents might see information. Rivera said there is no parent portal in the current product, though teachers could export and share data with parents during conferences. Trustees also questioned predictive analytics and data quality; presenters said built‑in playbooks and the evidence‑based interventions are intended to help teachers act on insights and that aggregations will be available to authorized staff while protecting individual student confidentiality.
The presentation was informational only; no board action was required. Staff said next steps include counselor training and staged rollouts to additional user groups.
