Key Performance Indicators

First Quarter - 2010 Key Performance Indicators KPIs: The First Step in Continuous Improvement By: Ron Noriyuki, Business Analyst, Quality Assurance Coordinator, St. Vrain Valley School District Introduction In the world of continuous improvement, there s a three-letter acronym that s finding its way into more and more school districts. It s KPI known as a Key Performance Indicator. It s pretty popular in the private industry, but in K-12 education, we re just beginning to see the value in utilizing KPIs. Definition A KPI is a critical measurement of how much something is happening. That something would be very important to the success of the district. It definitely would affect the district s ability to meet its primary objectives. Recommend CASBO Membership to a Professional Colleague! For a Membership Form and more information contact Bert Huszcza at 720-427-6560 As an example, a KPI would affect the primary district objectives of student achievement, district financial responsibility, and communication. We also could add customer (parent/ taxpayer) satisfaction, and safety. There would be a goal related to the KPI, such as a rate, a maximum or minimum value, a percentage, etc. Typically this would be a yearly goal in which progress would be tracked every month. Sometimes a monthly goal will give us a quicker indication of trouble. As examples, we could track playground injuries per month, or on-time bus drop-offs. Both will affect students achievements in the classroom. Injuries also affect financial and safety goals. MAKE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATIONS NOW!

From the Desk of CASBO President, Kevin Smelker Reflecting on the past year and serving as your 2009 CASBO President has been eventful, rewarding and generates many emotions. I first would like to say thank you to the other board members that bring talent, commitment and dedication to the CASBO organization and represent each of their chosen support disciplines with utmost professionalism. It has been a pleasure to work with The CASBO Board of Directors and interact with members in an ever changing educational environment. The CASBO Board of Directors and its members are a family that is connected by more than just our professional duties and responsibilities. We come together to learn and share our knowledge, experiences, expertise, failures and successes. This interaction creates a family bond that happens over a period of time and when one of the family members has something happen to them it impacts the entire organization. Ron McCulley one of our dear family members received news that he had Multiple Myeloma (Blood Cell Cancer) in the Spring of 2009 and he would soon enter treatment in the Summer 2009 and begin a battle for his life. Throughout this whole ordeal Ron s willpower was amazing. He was always concerned about fulfilling his commitments to CASBO and ASBO and never wavered on his contributions. Ron is extraordinary in his commitment to others in a time of personal hardship and uncertainty. Ron s actions and positive attitude throughout this event made it clear to me that living by example relays the most powerful message. Thank you for teaching me life s most valuable lesson and I look forward to you sharing this LIFE CHANGING event at the Spring CASBO Conference. My journey with CASBO started in April 1992 as a member, eventually as Board Director, Treasurer, Vice President and then President; it has been filled with many valued experiences and cherished relationships. There are many avenues to obtain profession development and knowledge, CASBO has provided me with the most diverse learning environment representing every discipline of support services. This environment is created by the member s perspectives that can be expressed freely in many different venues. I know we are entering difficult times in K-12 education and yet these are the very times we need professional development that provides for shared ideas and thoughts, round tables for in-depth discussion and motivational speakers to rejuvenate us for the challenges ahead. The CASBO Board is so dedicated to providing opportunities for learning and has made available the CASBO STIMULUS PROGRAM to support this endeavor as outlined on page 13 of this newsletter. Thank you for your involvement and continued support of CASBO. Sincerely, Kevin Smelker, Kevin Smelker, C.P.A.

Continued from Page 1 We could track teacher retention rates, worker s comp claims, and budgets and cycle times in construction projects. Ultimately, it must link to district objectives. Why it s important Key Performance Indicators Identifying and tracking KPIs are the very first steps toward making improvements in our processes. They become the baseline for improvement. They begin to give us a picture of what s happening in our areas, and for a lot of us, no one has been interested before. Just tracking KPIs provides awareness and some motivation to improve the numbers. In K-12 education, there has been a lot happening (sometimes controversial) in measuring student achievement, especially in terms of testing and grading systems. However, many of us having been taking the work we do behind the scenes for granted we really don t know how good or bad we are. As state and local funding reaches critically low levels, there will be more questions asked about our effectiveness and efficiencies. How to do it KPIs need to be recorded regularly. Monthly is a popular and useful time period. The time period needs to be frequent enough to give adequate warning to do something before a situation gets out of hand. Sometimes, weekly or daily tracking might be necessary. For our purposes, we began with monthly tracking. Principals/directors/managers will want to review these monthly. They can identify areas to improve. A spreadsheet can be used to make reporting as easy as possible. Each area has its own worksheet. Those worksheets are linked to a summary worksheet to allow a quick review by the managers. Red-green-yellow colors are automatically formatted to quickly identify KPIs in trouble. Eventually, good KPI spreadsheets could be converted to good balanced scorecards. The first time an organization is introduced to KPIs might cause concern among the owners of the measurements. They aren t used to being measured. So, we worked with process owners to allow them to have a primary voice in identifying their KPIs. Adjustments can be made later to KPIs that don t fully link to our primary district objectives. Also when KPIs are first introduced, we ve coached process owners to use measurements that are easy to collect. Simple check sheets are good for now. We will leave the more difficult data collection systems to be created for a little later. A simple KPI could be the number of energy audits we do per month. As we get better with data collection, we could track average audit scores. In some cases, we could use statistical process control (SPC) charts. Conclusion Vince Lombardi, the pro football Hall of Famer, said, If you re not keeping score, you re just practicing. So if you haven t already begun tracking KPIs, it s time to start. It s the first step toward creating a culture of continuously improving our education processes. It s those behind-the-scenes sources of waste that s putting a critical strain on our resources and we might not even know that s happening. 5 5

CYBER LIABILITY SECURITY BREACH Recently, schools across the country have experienced significant financial losses when unauthorized withdrawals were made from their payroll accounts by cyber thieves. School computers were infected by a Clampi Trojan Horse, which collected bank account information, including passwords and login information and transferred it back to the hackers without the computer user knowing their machine had been infected. The Trojan Horse can be introduced in many ways including downloads on web sites that appear legitimate or emails from trusted sources. At a small Colorado district, hackers made unauthorized transfers out of the school s payroll account, keeping them just below $10,000 to avoid anti-money laundering reporting requirements. Nearly $120,000 had been stolen from the account by the time a school employee noticed the payments. Very little was recoverable through reversed transfers. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, the online banking customer is limited to approximately two business days to spot and dispute unauthorized activity. If the activity is discovered after that time, recovery is uncertain. Other information may also be vulnerable to hackers. Any personal information stored in the computer may also be accessed, and could result in identity theft losses to employees or students. The district then faces the exposure of breach of fiduciary duty to protect employees or students private information, and may have obligations to notify them of such security breaches and monitor their credit records to mitigate losses. If the district accepts credit card payments, this information is also at risk. In 2005, hackers obtained names, photos and Social Security numbers of 32,000 students and staff when they attacked a university s main ID server. That same year, a hard drive was apparently stolen containing the personal information, including bank account numbers of 30,000 employees and beneficiaries of the University of Northern Colorado. In 2009, nearly 800 students and alumni were at risk as their personal information, possibly including social security numbers, was thought to have been on a stolen laptop taken from a UCCS professor s home in a burglary. Some recommendations to consider: Use up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware protection, and run virus protection daily. Use firewalls, intrusion detection, encryption and network segregation. Monitor system use. Use a designated computer, not connected to your network for financial transactions. This computer should not be used for file sharing, email, or to access the internet. Beware of free software. Do not click on unsubscribe. Establish policies for appropriate use of email and internet by all employees. For computer equipment that leaves your facility, implement strong access control protections and hard drive encryption to prevent unauthorized access to information if the device is stolen Require use of complex passwords Perform assessments designed to identify vulnerabilities. Familiarize yourself with the data-security-breach notification laws that may apply should a breach occur. Establish a data breach recovery plan Controlling the risk of a security breach is important, but it does not assure financial recovery from a loss should one occur. Insurance coverage is now available to protect against the emerging risk of Cyber Security Breach and the associated financial losses. Contact the professionals at Wells Fargo Insurance Services for information regarding coverage to protect your districts assets against these types of losses. Gail Brodsack and Jan Myers are available to assist you in evaluating your exposures and providing affordable solutions. Contact us at 1-800-332-9256.
