programs, each of which has different requirements for a student information system.
For example the BIA funds off-reservation dormitories where students live in a
dormitory environment, but attend a public school during the day. The dorms may
operate on a five or seven day calendar, and have a need to take attendance at differing
predefined hours. The BIA also funds boarding schools that have both residential and
academic programs. The academic programs may run on a five day schedule, the
dormitories may run on either five, six or seven day schedules and may take
attendance at differing times and schedules. The system needs to identify students by
both enrollment in residential and academic programs and to take attendance
separately.
NASIS will have a data warehouse for student and school information and provide
analytical tools, including OLAP, to Central Office staff to perform multidimensional
analyses.
