Shadd Schutte ’05, who earned an M.P.A. with a specialization in Public Policy, accepted a position at the Wyoming Department of Education as a project manager for the Wyoming Integrated Statewide Education (WISE) Data System. Wyoming is the first state in the nation to implement a move to the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) protocol, allowing for software communication between school districts and the state for both state and federal reporting. WISE allows districts to maintain local control over their school information systems while still being able to utilize a common carrier SIF to report student, teacher, and district data to the state.
