DASL data collection is split into two data collection periods, DASL Foundation and DASL BIIS Financial Operations. A school must participate in DASL Foundation to enter data into DASL BIIS Financial Operations. The DASL Foundation data entry deadline is 10/18/2024. The DASL BIIS Financial Operations deadline is 11/22/2024

That depends on how your school collects data, and how many people are able to work on the data entry. Schools often delegate different portions of the survey to the relevant staff member—for example, an admissions professional completes the admissions section and a fundraising professional completes the advancement section. With multiple professionals working on different sections, it can take up to 1 day of their time collectively to complete the tool. We believe the benefit of completing the tool and being able to access relevant Jewish day school benchmarking data outweighs the time commitment.

Your school’s data is identifiable except in the area of salary and compensation. No individual compensation data will be identifiable to your school.

There are several good reasons for you to participate.

• Your participation will enable your school’s leaders to make key strategic decisions with relevant comparable data.
• The data will be available to you when you need it.
• Prizmah uses this data to paint a portrait of the state of the field of Jewish education. That information is useful to everyone involved in the field, including individual schools, consultants, and funders. And the more data we have, the more robust and useful that portrait will be—to all stakeholders.

Here are a few strategies that schools use to input data into DASL.

• One person inputs all the data into all sections OR
• One person is assigned to collect the data from multiple people at the school such as the admissions director, development director, etc and input the data OR
• School staff in various departments enter  their own department’s data. For example the business officer inputs salary data, the development director inputs development data and the admissions director inputs admissions data. Each person on staff can have their own username and login. 

We encourage all schools to aim for 100% completion of the data collection. However, we understand that some schools may not have all the required information. If your school cannot complete the entire tool, we recommend prioritizing the following sections:

DASL Foundation

• Tuition and Fees*
• Enrollment*
• Admission | This year's data collection includes a focus on new student enrollment trends due to rising antisemitism. 

Financial Operations

• Tuition Discounting
• Revenue
• Expenses
• Endowment
