School districts use data and information systems as a means to create efficiency in the organization. As the educational technology world continues to expand, the number of specialized systems leads to schools buying more software systems that function independently. These additional systems create difficulties for educators to curate the data in a way that makes gathering, storing, sharing, evaluating, and analyzing efficient. This study was designed to take the voices of stakeholders that have the job of input and output of data to determine the key components needed in a single login data and information system. The stakeholders surveyed were K-12 educators in Missouri including district administrators, building administrators, teachers, district administrative assistants, and building administrative assistants. Through the use of a researcher generated survey, the Pearson’s r coefficient for the 406 pairs of variables revealed a positive linear relationship between each potential component ratings according to the five stakeholder groups surveyed. The coefficient was significant at p < .001 and each pair of variables ranged from .245 to .949. The survey also revealed a statistically significant difference in the level of priority of each potential component being compared by the use of the Friedman Test expressed in Chi-square. According to c2 of Friedman Test, the critical value was p < 0.001 and the results for this study were 56.892. The researcher ran the post-hoc analysis of the Friedman Test utilizing the Wilcoxon SignedRank Test to see where the differences lay between each potential component.
