  13. Benefits of • Allows your LEA to upload required student-level data to ADE in a reliable, consistent format • This single change will eliminate the millions of SAIS data errors every year • Reduces time spent on ADE data requests and enables near real-time student data to populate the new Arizona Dashboards (AZ Dash)
