BIIS: Data Tools Built for Business Analysis

Financial and Operational Stewardship Through Data

NBOA’s BIIS platform equips independent school leaders with data analysis tools that provide a comprehensive look at their school’s financial health. You’ll make better informed and more strategic decisions when you understand your school’s operational performance and long-term financial sustainability. BIIS is populated with financial operations data entered in NAIS’s Data and Analysis for School Leadership (DASL).

• Create customized peer groups beyond your traditional list of peer schools
