### **Principal Data View Options**

Under **Principal Data View**, there are two options:

1. Principals may view only their campus data.
2. Principals may view summary, comparative data on other campuses.

If **Option 1** is selected, principals will only be able to view data on their own campus(es).

If **Option 2**is selected, principals will be able to view campus summary, comparative data on other campuses. This does not allow principals to view individual students or teacher summaries on other campuses.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**Whatever is selected for principals should have no impact on teacher view options.

### **Teacher Data View Options**

Under **Teacher Data View**, there are two options:

1. Teachers may view only their students' data, compared with the campus and district summaries.
2. Teachers may view summary, comparative data on other teachers at their campus.

If **Option 1** is selected, teachers will be able to view their own teacher summary data plus summary level data for their campus and the overall district.

If **Option 2** is selected, teachers will be able to view summary, comparative data on other teachers at their own campus. This will not give access to teachers to view campus summary data on other campuses.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** In both options for teachers, teachers will only have access to individual student data for students rostered in one of their classes.

Additionally, check the box for **Allow Teachers to Edit Data Views** to enable editing capabilities for both rostered teachers and users with approved Student Access Lists.

### **Economically Disadvantaged Options**

- No access to Economically Disadvantaged information
- Summary level Data Views to include Economically Disadvantaged information for any campus and the district
- Summary and Individual Student level Data Views to include Economically Disadvantaged information for any campus and the district
