Data profiles

Well, I finished up the Scottsdale district data profiles yesterday, except for the parts that I can't do. My mentor has to put together part of it, so I'm waiting for her before I can completely finish them.

Other than that, the association is trying to get a grant to help out South Phoenix charter schools. The data team needs to determine how many schools there are in South Phoenix, and compare them to the district schools in the area, to convince them we need funding. It is surprisingly difficult to do this. Last time we tried we ended up with a weird boundary for what constitutes "South Phoenix." This attempt the boundary has been redefined, which might make our case stronger - I won't really know until we start compiling data. I suppose that's what I'll be working on next week.

I'm still really tired from being sick. It is not fun working two jobs when you feel icky. :(
