The primary objective of this analysis was to determine the need for, feasibility of, and conceptual design of an automated educational management information system to serve the staff of the Nevada State Department of Education. The analysis was divided into three general procedural tasks: the assessment of information need, data availability analysis, and the conceptual systems design. The procedure for the analysis that is the subject of this report involved an inspection of the computer processing environment available to the Department, a review of certain automated and manual systems presently in use, careful consideration of the frequency and types of information need, and analysis of several types of information systems with regard to the data to be handled and the known reporting requirements.
