Data Analysis In Administrators' Hands: An Oxymoron?
Creighton, Theodore B.
School Administrator, v58 n4 p6-11 Apr 2001

Attendance statistics are worthless unless principals and superintendents can interpret them and incorporate them into their instructional decisions. Software and resources are described. (MLH)
