The ONA pulls data from a variety of Department systems to create a needs analysis for
districts, schools, and educational entities using their unique data to create recommended
and required questions. The system has useful features such as auto saving and
individualized priority needs selections. These priority needs become the structure for goals,
strategies, and actions steps in the One Plan (OP).
FY23 Enhancements
- The second tab within the One Needs Assessment previously was called the
“Priority Needs Tab.” This tab is now the “Pre-Planning” tab.
- To better assist entities completing the One Needs Assessment, a goal and strategy
counter has been added to show the amount of goals and strategies that will be
pulled over into the One Plan.
- A key enhancement is the alignment of language from the One Needs Assessment
to the One Plan. For example, in the Pre-Planning tab, “improvement area” is now
“primary strategy area” and “additional improvement area” is now “additional strategy
area.”
