Announcing SBS DART

SBS DART logo

The SBS Data Analysis and Reporting Tool (SBS DART) is an online application containing PSU expenditure data. Moving forward, it will be home for our financial reports. Internal reports such as the monthly financial reports, cash zero out report, invalid codes report, remaining allotment balances, and more will now live within SBS DART. Anyone can access SBSDART to view data and run reports without logging in. Users who need access to internal reports must be logged in with their NCEDCloud account. 

Please keep in mind that 2024-25 is our build-out year and consider SBS DART as under construction. As such, we will be adding reports and features throughout the final part of the school year, and we also welcome your feedback. If there are reports that you need and/or would like to have, please let us know. We will be posting a feature/report suggestions link inside of DART soon.

 

Keep up to date with us through our Newsletters, the What's New section below, and our topic pages in the navigation bar to the right. To access EDDIE to update school information, please see our EDDIE webpage.
