In$ite Reporting is the new reporting model that will be used by the R.I. Department of Education (RIDE), allowing RIDE to now compare "apples to apples" between each district's expenditures.  The software also requires each district to break their expenditures down to the school level.  The In$ite software is also being used by more than half of the states in the United States.  This allows RIDE to compare our expenditures to that of another state or several states.  Click here to get a further explanation of what In$ite Reporting is all about.
